Royal County Down Golf Course

Royal County Down in Newcastle is widely regarded as one of the finest golf courses in the world, a links of breathtaking natural beauty set against the backdrop of the Mourne Mountains and the sweep of Dundrum Bay. The Championship Course is a supreme test of links golf, with punishing rough, deep pot bunkers, and blind tee shots that demand both skill and intimate knowledge of the terrain. The Annesley Links provides a shorter but equally charming alternative. The combination of panoramic mountain and sea views with the raw challenge of the dune-laden terrain makes Royal County Down an experience that transcends mere sport. The club's status as host to the Irish Open and numerous world-class amateur events underlines its standing at the very pinnacle of the game.
