The Castle Championship Course

The Par-72 layout is one of Ireland's finest parklands and was designed by Simon Gidman, opened in 1997. The course is nestled in the heart of the 2020-acre historic Galgorm Castle Estate, providing a mature setting that promotes an easy, relaxing rhythm that makes playing golf so pleasurable. The course is bordered by the river Maine and Braid which come into play a numerous holes, as well as five lakes and magnificent oxbow lake adjacent to the 14th hole.
A variety of teeing areas provide an exciting and enjoyable challenge for golfers of all abilities and its central location means the course is a must-visit for any golfers planning a trip to Northern Ireland.
“The long drive into the Estate shows off one of the best holes, the 10th - wild, spacious and enthralling…the course undulates gently so it feels like a pleasant walk, which makes golf all the more enjoyable” (theirishgolfblog.com)
In August 2018 the clubhouse bar & restaurant reopened following a £750,000 redesign and the Castle Kitchen + Bar is a stunning addition to Galgorm Castle estate and further strengthens Galgorm Castle’s reputation as a modern, top-level golf club, whilst offering a new dining option for hotel guests.
