6,084 yards • Par 69

Kirkistown Castle Golf Club is the most easterly 18 hole golf course on the island of Ireland and has been in the same location for over 100 years. It is situated in the village of Cloughey on the eastern side of the Ards Peninsula, County Down, Northern Ireland. The main coast road separates the golf course from the Irish Sea and outstanding views from the high points of the course include the Mountain of Mournes to the south, the Isle of Man to the east and Scrabo Tower, Newtownards to the north west.

With bunkering designed by the legendary James Braid, Kirkistown Castle is widely regarded as one of the best Par 69 courses you are ever likely to encounter. Being situated at the seaside means that wind is usually a significant feature in your round, but this means that every day is a new challenge. The Par of 69 belies a number of long and strong Par 4's and it is these holes which make the course the fine test of golf that it is. The signature hole at Kirkistown Castle is the Par 4 10th with an elevated, pulpit green. If you can par this hole you can really regard yourself as a golfer.
