Downpatrick Golf Club

Overview: Established in 1932 and significantly redesigned by the renowned Martin Hawtree, Downpatrick Golf Club is a mature and highly highly regarded parkland course. Situated on the spectacular wooded hills overlooking the historic town, the layout is celebrated for its technical green complexes and its Exceptionallly true-rolling putting surfaces. Characterized by its narrow fairways and its stunning panoramic views of the Mourne Mountains, Downpatrick offers a classic "thinking man's" test in the heart of the "Home of St. Patrick."

Its design prizes tactical accuracy above sheer power, and the club has remained a favorite destination for regional amateur qualifiers and visiting golf societies for decades.
