One of Ireland’s premier parkland courses, Malone Golf Club has been a cherished part of Belfast’s sporting and social scene since 1895. From its origins in Stranmillis to its current home at Ballydrain, the club has welcomed golfers of all abilities, from dedicated players to those simply seeking to enjoy the beautiful surroundings and the lively Ulster ‘craic’ at the clubhouse.
Located just five miles south of Belfast in the lower Lagan Valley, Malone Golf Club offers a stunning golfing landscape across 330 acres of meticulously maintained parkland. Designed by C.K. Cotton & Associates, the course gently rolls through mature woodlands and along the River Lagan, creating a visually spectacular and rewarding golfing challenge.
From the moment you drive up the tree-lined entrance, it is evident that Malone is a special place—an experience that continues as you step onto the fairways.
The main course consists of the Drumbridge and Ballydrain nines, named after the local area. Measuring 6,689 yards, it presents a solid test of golf, demanding precision off the tee due to the many mature trees lining the fairways. Golfers must also navigate the championship-standard greens, which, along with the grounds, are maintained to the highest standards.
With its strategic layout, lush fairways, and impeccable course conditions, Malone rightly earns its place among Northern Ireland’s elite courses, making it an essential stop on any golfing vacation in the region.
After a round, relax in the historic clubhouse, where you can enjoy fine dining, a well-stocked bar, and panoramic views of the course, all while soaking in the welcoming atmosphere that has been a hallmark of Malone for over a century.
