Frequently Asked Questions

When is the best time to plan a golf trip to County Londonderry?

We always recommend late spring through early autumn - May to September - for the most reliable weather. You'll get longer daylight hours and generally milder conditions, though a waterproof layer is always a smart move on these coastal courses. Expect fewer crowds and potentially better rates if you aim for the shoulder months of May or September.

With 14 courses, which ones are must-plays in County Londonderry for a first-timer?

You absolutely have to experience Royal Portrush's Dunluce Links - it's a world-class challenge and a true links masterpiece. For a different but equally rewarding experience, we suggest Castlerock Golf Club's Mussenden Links, offering stunning coastal views and a fantastic test of your short game. Don't overlook Portstewart's Strand Course either; its opening holes are some of the most dramatic in golf.

Can I enjoy a great golf trip in County Londonderry without breaking the bank?

Absolutely, you can find excellent value here, especially if you mix your rounds. While Royal Portrush is a premium experience, courses like Roe Park Resort or even some of the local parkland tracks offer fantastic golf at a more accessible price point. Look for twilight rates or multi-round packages directly with the clubs to save some pounds.

What unique experiences should I seek out in County Londonderry when I'm not on the course?

You're right on the Causeway Coastal Route, so driving it is a must - the Giant's Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge are iconic stops. We also love exploring the historic Walled City of Derry-Londonderry itself, with its rich history and vibrant atmosphere. Don't forget to sample some local seafood; it's incredibly fresh and delicious after a long day of golf.

How easy is it to navigate County Londonderry for a golf-focused itinerary?

We find that renting a car is by far the most practical way to get around and maximize your golf time here. The roads are generally well-maintained, and having your own transport gives you the freedom to explore the stunning coastal scenery between rounds. Public transport options are limited for reaching some of the more secluded courses.
