PARKLAND COURSES
Spoilt for parkland
choice Belvoir
When it comes to superb
parkland courses in Northern
Ireland, you’ll be spoiled
for choice.
In fact, you can barely step out the door
without stumbling upon a new parkland
challenge full of lush, rolling hills,
fiendishly tricky greens and outstanding
views. Temptation abounds!
But don’t be fooled by the gentle
slopes, our accredited parkland courses
can be just as challenging as our
infamous links courses, full of twists
and turns designed to deceive with lake

and river shots demanding pin-point
accuracy. Some of the world’s finest
players and designers have had a hand
in laying out our parkland courses,
among them Harry S. Colt, James Braid
and Eddie Hackett.
Many of our parkland courses are
conveniently close, even within our
cities. Royal Belfast, one of the founder
clubs of the Golfing Union of Ireland,
is mere minutes outside the city and is
just one of over a dozen superb Belfast
courses. Stunning clubs such as Malone
and Belvoir Park are ideal for combining
18 holes with shopping, theatre,
museums and other city attractions.
For rural breaks, check out Clandeboye
near the lively, attractive seaside
resort of Bangor, and Roe Park, set in
a beautiful valley opening onto the
magnificent Causeway Coast– gateway
to some of our most spectacular
natural attractions including the
Giant’s Causeway.
City-scapes, country breaks and more
challenges than you can shake a stick at,
we’ll spoil you in the best possible way.
