Course Details
| Course Name: Galgorm Castle Holes: 18 Yardage: 6736 SSS: |
| Championship course set in 220 acres of beautiful, mature parkland and is located in the heart of County Antrim. It is overlooked by Galgorm Castle, which was built in 1618 by Sir Faithful Fortescue. The course has been built in the estate grounds of Galgorm Castle, a site of great historical interest and one of the finest examples of Jacobean architecture in Ireland. No expense has been spared in producing a course to meet the most exacting standards of design and construction. All greens and tees are built to USGA specification. Full use has been made of the natural features available, which include five lakes and two rivers, the Maine and the Braid, one of which provides a magnificent oxbow. With the backdrops of the Castle and the ancient Irish fort of the MacQuillan clan, there is no more inspiring setting for your golfing requirements.

Having played this course many times, I would not hesitate in recomending Galgorm to anyone who has the chance to play it. It is both chalenging and rewarding and is one of the few good parkland couses in Nortern Ireland. Although most people are aware of the selection of excellent Coastal courses, Galgorm is one of a handful of top quality parkland courses worthy of a visit.
