Ballycastle belongs to one of the most glorious
stretches of linksland in all of Ireland. The club, founded on 1890, lies at the
foot of one of the nine glens of Antrim, Glenshesk, beside the seaside town of
Ballycastle on the Causeway Coast. It is one of the four courses played annually
every June in the world famous Black Bush Causeway Coast Tournament.
 The
excellently maintained 18 hole course offers a variety of terrain combining parkland
and links holes. The opening five holes are parkland with natural hazards provided
by the Margy and Carey rivers. The demanding 2nd par 4 requires an accurate drive
over the Carey river while the 3rd par 3 hole is adjacent to a 13th century friary.
From the 5th hole there follows a stretch of links alongside the beach as far
as the 9th hole. This hole is a challenging par
4 with a narrow approach to an elevated green. The 10th is a memorable par 3 across
a chasm with unsurpassed spectacular views across the sea to Rathlin Island. Holes
11 to 16 are played over an adjacent upland with clear views of Fairhead, the
Mull of Kintyre in Scotland and Ballycastle Bay. Coming home the elevated 17th
tee offers panoramic views of Glenshesk and Ballycastle while the hole is a testing
par 3 to a well bunkered green. It leads to the par 5 eighteenth hole and the
clubhouse where warmth, hospitality, good "craic" and friendship awaits. Although
not a long course Ballycastle offers a challenging enjoyable game. Accurate iron
play is essential for good scoring while the undulating greens will test putting
Skills.
