royal-county-down-courseWith its two 18-hole courses, this 127-year-old course measures 7200 yards and is the definition of beauty. 30 miles south of Belfast and a couple of hours drive from Dublin, this course established in 1889 is set between the Mourne mountains and the Irish Sea. Challenging bunkers and fairways gives players a run for their money as they enjoy miles of jaw-dropping landscape. The 4th and 9th holes are featured in the book “The 500 World’s Greatest Golf Holes.”
