Ballycastle Golf Club

Founded in 1890, Ballycastle Golf Club is one of Northern Ireland’s most scenic and historic golf destinations. Nestled between the Glens of Antrim and the Atlantic Ocean, this 18-hole course offers a rare and captivating mix of parkland and true links golf, set against the stunning backdrop of the world-famous Causeway Coast.

Located within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Ballycastle provides a one-of-a-kind golfing experience for both members and visitors, welcoming players year-round to a setting where land and sea meet in perfect harmony.

Ballycastle’s layout is split into two distinct nines:

• The opening five holes wind through lush parkland terrain, flanked by the Margy and Carey Rivers.
• The remaining links holes lead golfers across rolling dunes, elevated fairways, and coastal greens, with firm surfaces that reward strategic shot-making and precise iron play.

The views are as memorable as the golf—players are treated to sweeping vistas of Rathlin Island, the Mull of Kintyre, Ballycastle Bay, and on clear days, even the Western Isles of Scotland.
Ballycastle is also proudly featured alongside Royal Portrush, Ballyliffin, and Castlerock as one of the four courses in the esteemed Causeway Coast Golf Tournament, further cementing its reputation as one of Ireland’s hidden gems.
