Galgorm Castle Golf Club

Ballymena


This spacious 18 hole, Par 72 Championship Golf Course is set in 220 acres of mature parkland in the grounds of one of Ireland's historic demesnes including renmants of the Irish fort of the McQuillan clan. The course is bordered by the rivers Main and Braid which come into play and include a magnificent oxbow feature and five impressive landscaped lakes.

This is truly an exciting course and offers both the novice and low handicapped golfer a stimulating challenge and a memorable round. Within the area of the golf couse are two historic monuments, Rory Oge MacQuillan Castle which overlooks and dominates the tenth green and a network of souterrains at the fifth and eighth greens. Galgorm Castle Golf Club is an exciting mixture of the new and the old. This 18 hole, 6736 yard, par 72 championship course is set in a mature parkland located in the heart of County Antrim, Northern Ireland.

Galgorm Castle is Northern Ireland's top venue for hosting European professional Golf Events; the Golf Club was the first to host the PGA EuroPro Tour in Northern Ireland during 2010.

"Galgorm Castle is ranked in the 30 finest golf courses in Ireland (Ireland's Finest Golf Courses) By John Redmond. Galgorm Castle is one of only three courses from Northern ireland to be listed."
