Galgorm Castle Golf Club
This spacious 18 hole Championship golf course is set in 220 acres of
mature parkland in the grounds of one of Ireland’s historic demesnes.
This is truly an exciting course and offers both the
novice and low handicapped golfer a stimulating
challenge and a memorable round. Within the area
of the golf course are two historic features, Rory Og
MacQuillan Castle which overlooks and dominates
the tenth green and a network of souterrains at the
fifth and eighth greens.
The course is bordered by the rivers Maine and
Braid which come into play and include a
magnificent oxbow lake feature and five impressive
landscaped lakes.
