Ardglass Golf Club

Reviewed By MUMchampers

Not many courses have every hole with views of the sea. Challenging in a gale force wind but overall one of the best courses we have played. Great club house and friendly caddies show you the best lines. I felt it was as good as Royal County Down. A must see for all golfers.

5 of us hired electric bikes for a couple of hours. Was just the best craic I’ve had in a long time. Adeline, laughs, thrills & fantastic scenery. The guys at Castlewellan were very (funny?) and extremely helpful. Would defiance recommend this activity. Devon, Paul and all the others, thanks for great memories.
