Burnfield House Golf Club

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the signature challenge at Burnfield House Golf Club, and what kind of golfer will enjoy it most?

Burnfield House truly tests your short game, especially around its notoriously undulating greens. You'll find yourself needing precise chip shots and a deft touch with the putter to score well here, making it perfect for golfers who love a strategic challenge over pure power.

When is the best time of year to play Burnfield House, considering Northern Ireland's weather?

We highly recommend visiting between late May and early September for the best conditions. You'll get longer daylight hours and a better chance of drier, milder weather, though a light waterproof layer is always a smart addition to your bag in Northern Ireland.

Is Burnfield House Golf Club a good value, and what's the overall atmosphere like for visitors?

Absolutely, Burnfield House offers excellent value for the quality of golf and the stunning parkland setting. The atmosphere is genuinely welcoming and unpretentious; you'll feel like a local from the moment you step into the clubhouse.

After a round at Burnfield House, where do you recommend we grab a bite or a drink nearby?

Head into the nearby village of Ballynahinch and seek out 'The Old Post Office Bar & Grill.' They do a fantastic traditional Ulster fry if you're there for breakfast, or hearty pub fare and a great pint of Guinness for a post-round celebration.

What's one specific hole or feature at Burnfield House Golf Club that really stands out?

The par-3 14th hole, 'The Dell,' is unforgettable. It's a deceptively short hole playing downhill to a green tucked into a natural amphitheater, demanding a precise iron shot to avoid the deep bunkers guarding the front and sides.
