Newcastle Down - Northern Ireland

A ‘must do’ is to visit the famous Royal County Down Golf Club. Situated on a ribbon of linksland between Newcastle and Dundrum Bay, where the famous Mountains of Mourne sweep down to the Sea. Royal County Down is the most natural of traditional links. Five blind tee shots, deep pot bunkers, the toughest rough and gorse you are likely to encounter anywhere in golf awaits your pleasure. Venue for the 2007 Walker Cup, Royal County Down gives a deep sense satisfaction and privilege to anyone who has the good fortune to play there.
