My bucket list golf courses: Royal County Down

Best golf courses in Northern Ireland

I have inexplicably only been to Ireland once, when I squeezed in a round at Killeen Castle. And, with all due respect to what is a lovely course, it isn’t why you go to Ireland for a golf trip. So I’m going to head north of the border and go to the No 1 course on my to-play list – Royal County Down.

I don’t think I really need to explain this one. It’s ranked the best golf course in Great Britain & Ireland for a reason.

And while I’m there, it would be rude to not make the trip up to Portrush
