Castlerock Golf Club

About

Castlerock Golf Club is situated in the seaside resort of Castlerock, which lies approximately 5 miles west of the town of Coleraine on the North Coast of Northern Ireland.

Castlerock is a fabulous links course set among rolling sand dunes. Its scenic qualities embrace the River Bann flowing out to the Atlantic, eye-catching views of Donegal and on a clear day towards Scotland and the Isle of Islay. An ideal retreat in which to play golf.

Here at Castlerock we have two classic links courses. Our Championship course, Mussenden Links is a true test of golf even for the advanced player. The best known hole is the fourth, called the Leg O'Mutton, a 200yard par-3 with a railway line to the right, a burn to the left and a raised green. Additionally the 9 hole Bann course has widened the appeal of the Club which contains a par-5 that has been described as "one of the most scenic holes in Irish Golf"

The course designed by legendary club maker Ben Sayers and Harry Colt underwent significant renovations under the watchful eye of Dr Martin Hawtree in the winter of 2017 and again in the winter of 2019. The course with 10 fully renovated holes is a great test of golf to golfers of any level and with the renovations complete 2021 is sure to be an exciting year for the club.
