Northern Ireland’s lush foliage and rolling hills make this the perfect country for a golfing getaway. However, if you’re visiting Belfast and want to practise your swing without venturing deep into the countryside to do so, why not pay a visit to the historic Balmoral Golf Club?

Located in the Belfast suburbs just three miles south of city centre, this 18-hole parkland course was opened in 1914 and recently celebrated its centenary. As well as a challenging design and beautiful fairways – complete with trees, waterways and stone bridges – this par 69 course has associations with no less than four major Ryder Cup golfers, including the renowned Irish champion, Fred Daly.

Balmoral Golf Club is a golf course with staying power. During WW2, a prisoner-of-war camp was situated close to the course and the 13th fairway became an air-raid shelter. However, that didn’t stop play! Keen golfers traded balls for cigarettes to keep on the greens. After the war, the course returned to its full former glory.

Today, the Balmoral Golf Club is one of the most popular in Belfast. Centrally located on Belfast’s Lisburn Road, it welcomes visitors warmly. It is possible to reserve your place online and you’ll find the greens fees surprisingly affordable. In addition to its challenging layout, the clubhouse has an impressive menu of delectable local cuisine and a selection of fine wines. What better way to kick back and relax after an afternoon on the fairways?

9/10 Wonderful! (1,001 reviews)

We had a really lovely one night stay here to celebrate my husband’s 60th birthday. I had emailed the hotel before arrival to let them know of the occasion, and they kindly gave us a room upgrade and left a note and cupcakes in the room. Acknowledgements like this really make a hotel stand out and we were very happy. It was the first time we had stayed since the refurbishment, and all areas of the hotel are beautiful. The room itself was stunning, with views of both of the sea and the Mournes. We are local enough so the sight isn’t uncommon to us, but looking out at it from the hotel room was just spectacular! All the staff are very kind, courteous, friendly and hardworking. We dined in the town but had a couple of cocktails each in the Wolf bar which were very high quality. We appreciate a good cocktail! The breakfast buffet was lovely. Thank you for making this a memorable occasion :-)
