North Down is one of Northern Ireland’s most picturesque regions, where lush green landscapes meet the sparkling shores of Belfast Lough. From rolling parkland and wooded fairways to coastal cliffs and historic landmarks, the scenery here is both diverse and breathtaking. Quaint seaside towns like Bangor and Holywood add charm and character, while panoramic views stretch across the water to the distant hills of Antrim. Whether you’re teeing off beside a historic tower or walking fairways lined with centuries-old trees that shaped and formed Rory McIlroy’s career, North Down offers a golf setting that is as peaceful as it is inspiring. The gentle sea breeze, abundance of wildlife, and ever-changing skies make every round here a unique and unforgettable experience. It’s a place where the beauty of nature meets the tradition of golf in perfect harmony.
Situated near the heart of Bangor, Bangor Golf Club offers a scenic and challenging parkland course overlooking Belfast Lough and the Antrim Hills. Founded in 1903, the club began with a nine-hole course before being expanded to 18 holes by renowned designer James Braid. While it has undergone modernisation, it still retains the traditional charm and features of its historic origins.
