Carrickfergus stands on the shoreline of Belfast Lough with great views across to County Down. The club which was founded in 1926, is a pleasant parkland layout with a good mix of challenging and 'golfer friendly' holes. There are several long holes like the 6th to tempt the big hitters, but beware the infamous 'Dam' lurking. This same piece of water has caused some trepidation when driving off at the first hole.
Straight driving and course management are essential at Carrickfergus - with its imaginative use of water and sand the par of 68 is not matched that easily - the current course record stands at 64. Local golf architect David Jones has redesigned several holes with strong emphasis given to subtle greens built to USGA standards and liberal use of water features.

Had my mother's 70th birthday dinner here and the evening was a success. The food was delicious, well presented and arrived on time. The children's meals were substantial with a good variety. Wine menu had a good selection at reasonable prices. The staff were brilliant and coped very well considering they had 3 birthday parties and other diners to contend with. The restaurant manager was particularly helpful in organising the birthday celebrations. Would certainly dine at the restaurant again.

Heard the catering staff had changed and worried the standards had changed. It hadn't four of the party had surf and turf all four declared steaks were perfectly cooked to each persons requirements. , one had a delicious beef burger which was rated outstanding by a burger connoisseur 16 year old and the one child in group had lurverly chicken gougons. Nobody rushed us and we had a lovely evening. Thank you staff and chef
