Ballyclare Golf Course

Ballyclare Golf Club is a challenging parkland course located in the Antrim Hills, approximately 1.5 miles north of Ballyclare town in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. Situated just 20 minutes from Belfast, the course is well-positioned for golfing visitors.

Established in 1923, Ballyclare has developed into one of Northern Ireland's foremost golf courses. The 18-hole layout measures 6,373 yards with a par of 71, featuring mature, tree-lined fairways that define its character. The course is strategically designed with well-placed sand bunkers and natural water hazards, most notably the Islekelly river which meanders through the layout. Water hazards feature prominently between the third and seventh holes and at the eleventh hole, adding to the course's challenge.

The course offers a balanced blend of difficulty and playability, with the tree-lined fairways and hazard placement creating an engaging test for golfers of varying abilities. Recent recognition includes being voted 'Best Golf Club 2023' at the NI Hospitality Awards, with the clubhouse restaurant also winning 'Golf Club Restaurant of the Year 2023' from YesChef Ireland.
