It's Monday so let's start this great week with golf at Cushendall Golf Club in Antrim, N. Ireland

20 August 2018

Founded in 1937 and affiliated to the G.U.I. in 1938, Cushendall Golf Club nestles at the foot of the beautiful Glen Ballyeamon in the celebrated Glens of Antrim. 

This small, picturesque nine-hole course is bounded by the quaint village of Cushendall (known as the capital of the Glens) on the landward side, while the waves of Red Bay pound its northern shores. 

The River Dall meanders through the course to the sea and it is due to its presence that the course owes its "tricky” reputation. Its murmuring waters create out of bounds at the first five holes and reappear with a vengeance at the last two, making any wayward shot almost sure to find a watery grave. 

The recently renovated Clubhouse stands right on Cushendall beach and enjoys spectacular views across the Sea of Moyle to the Mull of Kintyre on the Scottish coast, which is just over 20 miles away. 

The visitor is assured of a friendly welcome as is customary in the Glens and hospitality is a byword in this part of Ireland where time seems to slow down.
