The Royal County Down GC - Championship Links
18 holes

6571m
Par 71
Rated fourth in the world by Golf Digest Magazine, Royal County Down presents an irresistable golf challenge set in spellbinding scenery. The course enjoys a magnificent stage-like setting as it stretches out along the shores of Dundrum Bay, in the shadows of the looming Mourne Mountains. As well as being one of the world's most beautiful courses, it is also one of the most challenging with great swathes of heather and gorse lining fairways that tumble beneath vast sand hills, and wild tussocky faced bunkers defending small subtly contoured greens.
Royal County Down founded in 1889, is a favourite of Tiger Woods and plays on it as a warm up course to the British Open. The course was originally designed by Old Tom Morris. The Royal County Down has previously been host to the Curtis Cup and the British Seniors 3 times in the last 6 years.

'The Annesley Links at Royal County Down shares the same magnificent setting as the Championship Links and is full of character.
