Ormeau Golf Club

Ormeau Golf Club is a nine-hole course located within a mile of Belfast city centre, positioned beneath the iconic Harland and Wolff shipyard cranes. The course features an eighteen-hole par of 68, making it a challenging layout despite its nine-hole configuration. Founded in 1893, it ranks among Ireland's oldest golf clubs and has established itself as a demanding test for accomplished golfers throughout its history.

The course is characterized by its urban setting integrated with the Laganside complex development. Notable holes include the Hanging Tree, Ravenhill Reach, The Fairy Thorn, The Pitch, The Old Dublin Road, The Pancake, The Pines, The Bandstand, and The Clubhouse View. This unique naming convention reflects the course's distinctive character and local heritage.

Despite its city-centre location, Ormeau provides a premium golfing experience with well-maintained facilities. The club features a fully licensed bistro offering dining options for members and visitors. Its compact nine-hole design combined with an eighteen-hole par rating creates an interesting and accessible playing experience while maintaining considerable challenge for various skill levels.
