Down Royal Park Golf Course

Played this course just before lockdown and it was in a terrible state played it again after lockdown and it has changed rapidly.
All in good condition except the tee boxes. Very uneven under foot. All in all ok course

I had played Down Royal before but it was about 20 years ago so it was like playing a new course.

The course is about 20 minutes drive outside Belfast and sits in the middle of Down Royal racecourse. The course is just over 6000 yards from the green tees.

We teed off after 1.30 and it took about 4 hours to play. The course is beautifully maintained and the greens just on the slower side of average. The fairways are generous and the par 5s are excellent. It has some beautiful set par 3s. The course has plenty of water just off the fairways so straight driving is a premium.

After the course we called in to the clubhouse for some food and a beer and both were good, so no complaints there.

The course also has a driving range on site if you fancy hitting a few balls to warm up and it was £2.50 for a small basket.

Lovely course which I would recommend

Handy course for me, is very good for winter as it drains well. Wind can get up as its so open. Stay in fairway and ul be fine, fairway itself was long but can be expected in winter. 4 ball ahead of my 2 ball whole way until 14th hole or so then they finally let us through. Slow play Can be an issue sometimes. Great value for money at only 12 pound

I’m a fan of this course but......needs a haircut and bunkers are not full of sand,generally everything could do with a trim

Greens like fairways no markings could not find way round only played 8 holes then give up

An inexpensive parkland 18 hole course set within the perimeter of the Down Royal Race Course. Quite a forgiving course that feels more like a links than parkland. Lots of gorse to trap stray shots, although not too much to make the course unsuitable for high handicappers. The only problem I found was that signage was poor and did lead to scurrying around trying to find the bext tee box. In all a nice course to play.

Opening 9 affected by rain thunder,so was better forgotten back 9 enjoyed weather improved scorecard improved,now has golf shop but closed when I finished,still nice challenging course

Think I’ve reviewed before and would be the same , grand course for the money. 3 or us played today for £11+£1 bookings no feel very reasonable. 2 of us booked meal with the golf for £20+£1 , a £9 difference. Still very reasonable ,until we’re ordering and are told to order of the lunch menu , £6 . Or they would take £6 of a full price main? Again we paid £9. There was a walk up offer of 2x courses for £10
So good course, good value, food ok but don’t book on here 1st !!

As always enjoyable,couple of two balls let me through so my day flowed,deal was good which brings u back,

Very nice weather,course in good condition,,freedom of down royal

Down royal generally clean and tidy,main thing hit fairways and ul do good,1ce in rough (cod do with a trim)then u have problems,but always enjoy down royal

Excellent course, good layout, very forgiving off the fairways, pretty flat also which was good. Only small criticism is the lack of signposting for tees, only an issue for first-timers though.

Best course this time of year. Very good condition and very good price.

good value for money and easy to get a time on a Saturday

Always enjoy down royal,very challenging windy,course was very good,front 9 flowed very nicely back,back 9 a car park and due to time restrictions had to cut short to just a few holes,
