Check out the wonderful Ballyearl Golf Club in Newtownabbey; the very scenic Dunmurry Golf Club next to Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park; test your skill in the natural beauty of Fortwilliam Golf Club; or even compare scorecards at Ireland’s oldest club Royal Belfast Golf Club, which was established in 1881.

Experience the thunder of hooves at Ireland’s oldest horseracing venue in Lisburn City. Down Royal Racecourse dates back to 1685 and today hosts 12 race meetings per year.
