Royal County Down

Royal County Down is a public track with a pedigree in Newcastle, County Down. It peaks in summer.

Tee times are open to the public, though the good ones go fast. Green fees run ~£300. The property offers lodging close by, which shapes how we build the days around it.

Royal County Down is open to the public, but the good tee times move fast — we chase those down so your group doesn't get stuck with whatever's left. No. 9 on our list for a course that's as scenic as it is difficult.

It doubles well as a bucket-list stop or a stretch on a buddies' trip through Northern Ireland. Summer is when it plays best.
