Ardglass
With two sides embraced by ocean , with Van Morrison ’ s
Coney Island a backdrop to a stunning par three and with canons behind the 1st tee , Ardglass sets temperatures soaring right from the word go . The thrilling opening holes cling to the cliff tops with no quarter given . Shots into turret-like greens ( the 1st ) and the chasm crossing par three 2nd set the tone . It feels utterly wild to be up here . Ardglass combines cliff-top , links and seaside holes to create a heady golfing mix and a round heavily influenced by wind . The three links holes by the sea arrive almost with a crashing of cymbals , such is their impact . Two par threes and an inspiring par five squeezed between dune and ocean . And you finish as you started , with the 18th leading back to the centuries-old clubhouse , built on the ruins of a 13th century castle . The continuing upgrades by Ken Kearney have significantly enhanced to Ardglass ’ s charms . WWW . ARDGLASSGOLFCLUB . COM
