A classic links course set amid towering dunes. Founded in April 1901. Today, Castlerock is rated as one of Ireland’s finest links courses and its status in the game is reflected by the fact that it has hosted many National Championships both Amateur and Professional.
Castlerock Golf Club, is a classic links course set amid towering dunes. Situated on the Causeway coast and only a 20 minute drive from both Royal Portrush Golf Club and Portstewart Golf Club, Castlerock is a more than worthy neighbour to both of these great Irish links.
Founded in April 1901, the original course comprised nine holes and was laid out on the western part of the present course. Additional land was leased in 1908 and Ben Sayers, the professional from North Berwick in Scotland, was commissioned to design an eighteen hole layout. Though better known as a club maker, Sayers produced a superb layout and insisted that the links of Castlerock would equal those at Troon, North Berwick and Sandwich. Though not officially recorded, it is known that Harry Colt, while spending much time in Ireland with his work at Royal Portrush, was consulted regarding the redesign of the Castlerock links around 1930.

Mussenden Course
Through the winter of 2017/18 the Championship Course - Mussenden Links went through some major reconstruction. The club had engaged with Dr Martin Hawtree a renowned course architect to make some changes to the course which resulted in 6 holes being changed on the course. The course itself has now had a year of bedding in and we are delighted with the changes.
Bann Course
The Bann links is a testing but fun 9 hole golf course with some spectacular views out onto the river Bann and over to Donegal. Don't let the fact that it is a 9 hole course fool you though as it is very testing course in its very own right.
