Ardglass Golf Club
Cliff-top links with the world's oldest clubhouse — exceptional value next to Royal County Down.
About this course
Eleven holes play directly along the cliffs above the Irish Sea. Quirky, characterful, and warmly welcoming.
What golfers say
Ardglass often garners praise for its undeniably stunning clifftop setting and the dramatic, exhilarating start it offers with arguably the finest opening stretch in Links golf. While some find its back nine a little less cohesive than the front, the consistently pristine conditioning and warm, genuine welcome from the clubhouse staff invariably leave golfers eager for a return visit.
