The Golf Courses

Ardglass Golf Club

Ardglass Golf Course is an 18-hole links course on the north-eastern coast of Ireland with some stunning views and many excellent and unique golf holes. The course hugs the coastline, with no fewer than eight holes where the Irish Sea coastline comes into play. The Irish Sea is visible from all 18 holes. The clubhouse at Ardglass is the oldest in the world, dating back to 1405AD.

Portstewart Golf Club

Home to three true links courses. The outstanding Championship Strand Course was the host for the 2017 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open. Jon Rahm, the 2017 winner was certainly impressed, saying “the golf course is amazing. It’s probably one of the most beautiful golf courses I have ever seen, if not the most.”

The Accommodation

Grand Central Hotel, Belfast (5*)

Hastings Grand Central is more than a hotel. It’s an ode to a city. Standing tall in Bedford Street, this impressive jewel fuses glamour and grandeur with a uniquely Belfast spirit. Perfectly placed in Belfast City. Just as Belfast is at the heart of the Grand Central, the Grand Central is at the heart of Belfast. Set in the up and coming Linen Quarter, the hotel is a spectacular hub for exploring Titanic Quarter’s history or Cathedral Quarter’s charming cobbled streets, pubs and eateries.
