Links Courses

Perfectly located, we invite you to stay with us at the Roe Park Resort and play on a range of the world's greatest Links Courses.

Playing a Northern Ireland links course is an experience like no other. That edge of the world feeling, with nothing between you and Iceland but a thousand miles of Atlantic surf, a bracing wind that can turn from ally to adversary in a second, and immense sand dunes hiding all manner of pitfalls and possibilities.

No wonder then that Northern Ireland's finest links courses are well regarded and held in such high esteem across the world of international golf. Yet, because this is Northern Ireland, even courses of this calibre warmly welcome the intrepid visitor. Here you can indulge your dreams and try your hand at the challenges that have tested the very best golfers in the world. That said, every one of our links courses has plenty to tax the talents of even the most adept player. Portstewart and Castlerock are already tricky enough without the added distraction of phenomenal views. How can you keep your eye on the ball when the vistas are so compelling?

Play any of these courses and you'll soon discover why Northern Ireland has produced so many world class golfers including David Feherty, the late, great Fred Daly, Graeme McDowell and Rory McIlroy. Darren Clarke ranks Royal Portrush among his favourite courses.

With the challenging course layouts, the unpredictable conditions and the gnarling North Atlantic winds, links golf in Northern Ireland is a stern test of both ability and endurance. The pleasures and rigours of links golf are no longer a secret, so why not give it a go?
