The winning Irish team celebrates
Round two was at Massereene Golf Club , which is a traditional Links and is the most easterly 18 hole golf course on the island of Ireland . The present course layout was designed by the legendary golf course architect James Braid in 1934 . Little has changed since then and few would argue that this Braid gem has not stood the test of time . The course consists of two loops of 9 holes , each beginning and ending at the clubhouse . The inner 9 is played in an anti – clockwise direction , while the outer 9 is played in a clockwise direction .
Established in 1895 , Massereene Golf Club is one of the finest parkland courses in Northern Ireland . Co- Host of the 2019 ISPS Handa World Invitational alongside Galgorm Castle Golf Club .
It was transformed into a new global event for men and women professionals in 2019 . This progressive move was made possible when ISPA HANDA and long-time partners of the NI Open , Modest ! Golf , engaged with organisers and bought into the longterm vision for this unique event . This event welcomed men and women playing the same golf courses , at the same time , competing for equal prize money .
At 6603 yards off the championship tees , even the scratch golfer will be tested . The course is very popular with societies and lady golfers alike . Not only is Massereene a fantastic course designed by Fred Hawtree , but as golfers reach the top of the seventh hill they are greeted by breath-taking views over Lough Neagh . Massereene Golf Club proved themselves amongst the select in Northern Ireland when they hosted the LGU 2014 British Girls Amateur Open .
