The family-run Ballymoney Golf Club is located just under a mile from Ballymoney town. A superb 18-hole course, it is situated within Courteencurragh Wood and is overlooked by the picturesque Tara Hill to the north – and the fact that the course is every bit as challenging as it is scenic should be music to the ears of every golfer planning a visit to Ireland in the near future.

Suitable for players of all standards, Ballymoney will provide a thorough test of the better player’s abilities without every overwhelming the higher handicapper. It’s recently-opened new clubhouse, meantime, is a great place to unwind after your round, and where you can join in with the friendly craic.
