Ardglass Golf Club
Ardglass
Ardglass is a course many would never find on their own but we wholeheartedly recommend it. Founded in 1896, this is an exceptional layout less than 30 minutes from Royal County Down with dramatic elevation changes and striking views as you play on high ground along black rock cliffs beside the Irish Sea. The first five holes are as memorable as you’ll find with rocks and water threatening every shot not played with a putter. The par 3s here stand out. No. 2 at 167 yards is “Howd’s Hole” played over a massive ravine to a much to small green. “Cathlin” plays from an elevated tee to a green located on the edge of the club’s rocky headland 198 yards away. A 14th century castle serves as Ardglass’ clubhouse, the oldest in golf.
