Description
Bushfoot Golf Club's opening hole holds the #1 ranking for best opening hole in Ireland — a strong introduction to this 9-hole links course in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom, that dates to 1890. The layout plays to a par of 70 across narrow and sloping fairways shaped by bunkers and the River Bush. The sixth is the course's only par 5. Semi-private access means visitors are welcome alongside members. Coaching is available through one-to-one lessons for all levels, with junior sessions running during the summer months. The Bushfoot Restaurant, run by MA Catering, serves traditional homemade food — including Sunday Carvery, Curry Nights, Homemade Pizzas, and Ulster Fry — with bar snacks through the day and an A la Carte menu in the evening. The course also holds a Silver Award in the HSBC Top Courses of Ireland.

Simon WattersApril 21, 2022Great wee course. Really confusing tee time booking set up.Booked for 8 o clock tee time, no option to choose 18.Website says midweek 18 holes is £20 so thought I was sorted.Had played 10 holes when I was told by a greenskeeper I'd only booked for 9 and had teed off ahead of someone starting at 10 am (baring in mind this was still 9.50am) and I'd need to pay the remainder at the pro shop.The idea that a visitor can't play 18 holes with an 8am tee time in April is a bit of a joke tbh. Course was very quiet but those I played behind wouldn't let me play through.Great wee course, let down by no notice tee booking system on website and members not interested in the pace of play.
Barnaby MaclaineAugust 22, 2016lovely course. tough links. back nine shares some greens or tees which is a downside. very well maintained and tough green. £10 for 9 is a steel.
