Course Highlights

The Layout

Castlerock Golf Club boasts two excellent links courses: the Mussenden Course and the Bann Course. The Mussenden, a par-73 championship layout, winds through rolling dunes with undulating fairways, tricky greens, and natural hazards. The Bann Course, a scenic 9-hole links layout, provides a shorter but equally enjoyable test of skill.

Authenticity of the Landscape

Situated along the stunning Causeway Coast in Northern Ireland, Castlerock’s links courses blend seamlessly with the rugged landscape. Rolling dunes, coastal breezes, and views of the Atlantic Ocean make for an authentic and challenging links experience, while the surrounding countryside adds to its serene beauty.
