The Royal Belfast Golf Club is one of only three clubs in Northern Ireland to have Royal patronage and is the oldest golf club in Ireland dating back to 1881. The magnificent Victorian clubhouse sits in a beautiful 140-acre wooded estate at Craigavad on the shores of Belfast Lough. The course, designed by eminent golf course architect Harry S Colt, features lush fairways and impeccable fast greens and provides a stern golfing challenge.
