The Spa Experience

Set amidst the rolling countryside of County Down, Spa Golf Club is a mature parkland course that blends natural beauty with a thoughtfully demanding layout. Designed by Frank Ainsworth, the course is renowned for its wide fairways, undulating greens, and a mix of challenging and rewarding holes that make each round both enjoyable and competitive.
Highlights include the tough par-3 2nd, the classic 405-yard par-4 11th, and the deceptively tricky 120-yard par-3 8th, each offering unique tests of accuracy and strategy. For those who appreciate a scenic round, the 17th tee delivers breathtaking panoramic views of the Mourne Mountains—one of the most picturesque spots on the course.
Spa Golf Club is more than just a beautiful place to play—it’s a complete golfing destination. The modern clubhouse, opened in 2002, is home to the popular Casa Bistro, known for its warm hospitality and delicious, affordable cuisine. It’s the perfect place to unwind after your round and enjoy the relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that defines Spa Golf Club.
