Course Design
In 1925 the responsibility of course design and layout at the present location was given to H.C. Colt the eminent English course architect of the day, who also laid out the Royal Portrush course. With the assistance of Walker Cup player W.A. Murray, Colt produced a course of great charm which provides a true test of golfing skill and which has one of the loveliest settings of any in Britain with its unrivalled views of Belfast Lough and the Antrim plateau beyond. The course remains much the same today as it was then.

Footnote
The Club Professional considers the first hole to be
one of the best opening holes in Irish golf - it measures 415 yards from
the back tee and is a slight 'dog-leg' left rising to a green which is
probably the most difficult on the course. A great start with much more
to come!
