Royal Belfast is one of the oldest golf clubs in Ireland, founded in 1881. This stunning parkland course was designed by Harry Colt.

Royal Belfast is located in Hollywood, Co. Down. It first received Royal status in 1885 when King Edward II played the course. Originally designed by Harry Colt, In 2017, architects Mackenzie & Ebert completed a course renovation which concentrated on refurbishing the bunkers.

Highlights

A very strong pair of long par fours open and close the front nine, four of the five par threes measure more than 175 yards in length and two of the final three holes are stout par fives. Any net score, approaching the standard scratch of one more than the par total of 70, will be hard fought for.
