Royal County Down

The outcome of this munificence resulted in Old Tom spending two days “on the ground” and suggesting 18 holes which were in play some months later, proof indeed that golf club design in those days was a very different kettle of fish, but proof also that so many of the great links courses of today were created on natural dune land that had always been there. It is ranked #5 in the world so he did a good job.

The Championship Course is consistently rated among the world's top ten courses. Laid out beneath the imperious gaze of the Mountains of Mourne, the course enjoys a magnificent stage-like setting as it stretches out along the shores of Dundrum Bay. As well as it being one of the worlds most beautiful courses, it is also one of the most challenging, with great swathes of heather and gorse lining fairways that tumble beneath vast sand hills, and wild 'tussocky' faced bunkers defending mall subtly contoured green. It is spectacular to look at even more thrilling to play. Royal County Down is regarded by many as THE most beautiful golf course in the world.
