Royal County Down

A magnificent par 4 that plays along the base of towering dunes with the Mountains of Mourne dominating the skyline. The drive must find a narrow fairway corridor, and the approach is played to a green nestled among the dunes with gorse threatening on all sides.

A stunning par 3 played from an elevated tee to a green set in a natural amphitheatre of dunes. The hole requires a long iron or hybrid, and the green is protected by deep bunkers and thick gorse. The backdrop of Dundrum Bay and the Mourne Mountains is spectacular.

One of the most famous and photographed holes in golf. The tee shot is played from an elevated tee over a vast expanse of gorse and rough to a fairway far below. The approach is then played uphill to a green set against the backdrop of the Mountains of Mourne — an unforgettable golf hole.

A demanding par 4 that doglegs right through the dunes. The drive must be positioned carefully to open up the approach to a well-protected green. The hole epitomizes the strategic challenge of Royal County Down, where accuracy is paramount.

A long and challenging par 4 that plays back toward the clubhouse with the sea visible to the right. The fairway is narrow and the approach must carry bunkers to reach a green that slopes significantly from back to front.

The finishing hole is a reachable par 5 that offers the chance for birdie or eagle, but danger lurks everywhere. The drive must avoid bunkers on both sides, and the approach to the green requires precision to avoid the deep bunkers protecting the putting surface. A dramatic finish to one of the world's greatest golf courses.
