Ballycastle Golf Club, founded in 1890, sits yards from the shoreline on the Causeway Coast, a spectacular stretch of golfing coastline of unsurpassed beauty. The golf course is one of the most scenic in Northern Ireland.
Paul and Chris play the 7th which runs alongside the beach. It’s a short par 4 but with the hard links ground and the breeze blowing off the sea it wasn’t easy. But great fun!
Designed by Ryder Cup star, Christy O’Connor Jnr., the Glasson Golf Club is a beautiful course located on the banks of the Lough Ree in Ireland. The lake view is visible from every hole, so it is a charming place to play golf.
Chris plays the 5th. A downhill par three with spectacular views from the tee box. But those views get better as you reach the green and Lough Ree.
Mount Juliet is 7,200 yards set across 180 acres of rolling Irish countryside. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, the course includes miles of rushing river and verdant pastures. This stunning course was the host for the 2021 Dubai Duty-Free Irish Open in July 2021.
Chris plays the exquisite 3rd. It’s a short par 3 over a small lake with little streams surrounding the green. Add swans, ducks and the light of a stunning summer’s evening and this is hard to beat!
The Portstewart Golf Club is three magnificent 18-hole courses in Northern Ireland around one club. Founded in 1984, the club has played host to a number of championships, including the Irish Open in 2017. The courses are set amidst gigantic sand dunes with panoramic views across the Atlantic Mouth of Lough Foyle to the Inishowen peninsula beyond.
Paul and Chris play the 1st. A magnificent par 4. What a way to start your round. It’s a dog-leg, left to right which has tested the best. Don’t get distracted by the views of the beach!
The K Club in Kildare is only 30 minutes from Dublin, set in a beautiful location. It’s the home of the 2006 Ryder Cup, 2016 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open, and 13 European Opens. Both courses were designed by Arnold Palmer, one of golf’s superstars.
Paul turns the clock and plays the 16th, a hole where he took on Tiger Woods in the Ryder Cup. A brilliant risk and reward par 5.
