Characteristics
As Ireland’s oldest golf club, founded in 1881, Royal Belfast exudes history and prestige. Located on the picturesque shores of Belfast Lough, this immaculately maintained parkland course emphasizes precision over power. Golfers must navigate around mature trees and strategic bunkers to reach lightning-fast, subtly contoured greens. The experience is anchored by a magnificent Victorian clubhouse, dating back to 1852, which blends timeless elegance with modern luxury and exceptional dining.

Royal Victorian!
Reviewed May 4, 2023
This parkland pearl with a seaside view is located on Lough Belfast!
Ancient giant trees, old venerable design and a perfect condition make the oldest golf club in Ireland a unique experience!
Sometimes it's quite up and down, but a buggy can't be a must!
The course and palatial clubhouse have recently been completely renovated!
The clubhouse is incredibly impressive, walk up and down and take a look!
Royal Belfast is awesome!
