Galgorm
Castle is located within 20 miles of the City of Belfast and the Province's major
ferry ports and 12 miles from the international airport. Situated on 220 acres
of mature parkland, Galgorm Castle is a spacious 18 hole championship golf course.
History is evident everywhere while playing the course. Built in 1618, the
Jacobean castle dominates the entire golf course. However, there are other monuments
to remind people of the historical significance of the area. The 10th green is
overlooked by Rory Óg McQuillan Castle and a network of underground passages are
present at the fifth and eighth green. The parkland track has four par fives,
ten par fours and four par threes with each hole having a special character.
The greens are all more than 500 square metres. The 6800 yds par 72 course
is constructed to the highest standards, with all tees and greens built to USPGA
specifications. The course has been designed magnificently, perfectly incorporating
the natural features, the most impressive of which is the oxbow feature on one
of two rivers on the course. Also within the complex is the driving range as well
as the excellent Pavillion. Accommodating the golf shop, changing rooms and relaxation
area, it is also home to a wonderful bar and restaurant.
