Royal County Down (Championship)
County Down, Northern Ireland
Lying beneath the Mourne Mountains, Royal County Down Golf Club is one of the world’s most spectacular golfing experiences. The routing at RCD unveils some of Old Tom’s greatest design work, which, when paired with coastal views and dramatic backdrops up towards the peak of Slieve Donard, the experience at RCD is up there with the very best.
Many say the front-9 at RCD is the greatest in our game. The holes here could fill the majority of a world eclectic 18….this is an experience that you will talk about for decades.
About
Curated Northern Ireland Trips
Northern Ireland, home to the Giant’s Causeway, the end of the Wild Atlantic Way, and most importantly, world-class golf.
Royal County Down and Royal Portrush claim the spotlight, with both featuring inside the Top 20 of GOLF.com’s World Top 100. A trip to the region unveils the dramatic sets of prehistoric dune networks, coastal panoramas, and nature’s greatest creations, including the aforementioned Giant’s Causeway. Portstewart lies near Royal Portrush, with Ardglass pairing with Royal County Down, allowing for a simple yet enthralling experience with limited travel.
St Patrick’s Links at Rosapenna is worth every minute of the 2-hour drive for those trying to bag another world top 100, or guests can look at a North West Ireland swing, which is gaining traction amongst those in the know.
In true Irish fashion, hospitality is on point, with famous bars, restaurants, and hotels adding to the experience as soon as you step off the plane.
Experience two of GOLF.com’s World Top 100, world-renowned hospitality, and hidden gems in one region. Make a trip to Northern Ireland a priority.
