Royal County Down Golf Club: Reviews

Similar to Portrush we couldn’t get on the Championship course so played the Annesley. And similarly to Portrush, this one was incredibly cheap for the quality of the course at £60. This one intertwines with the Championship course which is a real treat as you get to see it close up but for many parts the quality on both was so similar we couldn’t tell which course we wer… More

I had the pleasure of playing here last year. Fortunately I played with a member for £30 I would pay the full price for this course without hesitation. Both courses were in absolute pristine condition. Can’t think of one let down other than the wind being 30mph… can’t knock the course down for that! The practice facilities were amazing also also they were top of the … More

Ever since I played Royal County Down Golf Club for the first time 7 years ago I considered it to be my favorite course I’ve played. But through the years I’ve seen many more golf courses and I was very keen to return to Royal County Down and see if I still love it as much as I did the first time around. As soon as I stepped on the first tee, I was blown away again by the… More

A truly spectacular golf course set at the foot of the Mourne Mountains and the sea. A must play.

Royal County Down GC Is een van de mooiste links die ik gelopen heb, super baan in een mooi gebied. Vanaf hole 1 wordt je weg gestart en gelijk aan beide zijde fairway hoge duinen. Zeer snelle greens. RCD zit in het rijtje Nairn, DunDonald, Waterville, Ballyliffin, Dooks.

Briljante baan, echt de moeite waard om met vrienden heen te gaan. Simpelweg prachtig.

When you come to Royal County Down make sure you are prepared for it. I've played 500+ courses now and I think the front nine at RCD is probably the best I have seen. The massive dune landscape, the tight fairways, the contrasting two-way mowed fairways and the treacherous greens are amazing true and fast. The driving range, where they shuttle you from the clubhouse is … More

I was lucky enough to get a tee time during The Open RCDGC, it was a course that I wanted to play for a while, my expectations were accordingly high. First of all, I did the booking trough the LC site and the experience was very pleasant, no complications, no delays, the staff responded to my mail within an hour, everything worked. When you arrive at the estate, it be… More

What a fantastic course! The green staff have worked so hard to get the course in great condition for the Women’s Amateur. The condition of the course was second to none, all the hard work that has gone into the course is amazing and such a credit to all the people who are involved in course maintenance! The course is challenging, but fair and it is a great test of golf f… More

Ein absoluter Traumplatz mit einer unglaublichen Kulisse. Die weltweiten Bewertungen sprechen für sich. Ein unvergessliches Golferlebnis. Leider hatten wir kein gutes Wetter, dadurch wurde dieser sehr schwer zu spielenden Golfplatz zu einem absoluten Härtetest.

Uno dei campi più belli giocati: le prime nove buche sono fantastiche! Peccato che alcune delle buche centrali siano un poco meno caratteristiche, ma in complesso un super campo. Non mancano alcune buche cieche tipiche di molti links, ma nel complesso tutto e' armonioso e molto divertente. Sperate solo che non tiri troppo vento, altrimenti le ultime 5-6 buche potrebbero … More

best course in the world by far and always a joy to play, There isn't a bad hole on the course and people complain about the blind tee shots but its part of the course. a must play for anyone.

Gehört nicht umsonst in allen Rankings zu den Top Plätzen auf der Welt. Das Mekka für Golf Puristen. Caddys sind zu empfehlen. Höhere Handicapper werden auf diesem Platz wohl nicht viel Freude haben, denn es gibt viele "blinde" Löcher und der Wind ist auch immer dabei. Ein einmaliges Golferlebnis in diesen riesigen Dünen ist es allemal. Kann auch von Dublin in 1 1/2 Stund… More

Having played courses all over the world this is by far the best...

El mejor link course que he jugado. Un campo imposible con calles estrechas, muchos tiros ciegos y greenes imposibles por la velocidad. Un campo que casita todo aquello que no sea caer en las calles. Un precioso campo junto al mar donde la influencia del viento puede hacer que jugar al golf sea una experiencia terrible. Es recomendable jugar con caddie si no conoces el ca… More

Merece sin lugar a dudas posición altísima en el ranking de campos Europeos. Un puro links, todo muy natural y con gran penalización en los bunkers. Casi todas las partidas con forecaddy, muy recomendable para disfrutar el campo.

With regards to the championship course it certainly lives up to its billing as arguably the best golf course on British & Irish soil and one that vies for the title of being the greatest in the world. I don’t quite put it into that lofty bracket but it is unquestionably superb and rightly celebrated. The canvas at County Down is perfect for golf and it paints the most c… More

What a great golf course, top class. Nice welcome from the staff in the pro shop on arrival, beautiful club house and good areas for warming up and practicing. The drive on the 1st Hole is daunting... thankfully i hit one straight down the middle... great range of hole with a few blind drives and approaches... watch out for the pot bunker on the 9th, its right in front of… More

Played there with 2 friends of the Netherlands. And we played a lot of courses over whole Europe. But this is the very best we all agreed. Played awful but still enjoyed this wonderful beauty. What a course what a natural layout and what an atmosphere. The viewings are stunning the staff very friendly but stay on the fairway and don't let the greens surprise you with an a… More
