Mahee Island Golf Club

Mahee Island Golf Club sits on an island surrounded by the waters of Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland, offering 360-degree views that make it one of the most spectacular settings for golf in the UK — just 30 minutes from Belfast. Designed by Robert Rennick in 1929, the 18-hole course measures 5,882 yards. Compact by modern standards, it has held up as a genuine test for golfers of all abilities for nearly a century. Small, fast greens and undulating fairways reward accuracy and course management over raw distance. Every hole presents a fresh angle on the surrounding landscape. From the 1st tee, the lough stretches out ahead — though a drive leaking right risks the pebbled shoreline. The par-3 8th is the signature hole: played from one of the highest points on the course, it delivers panoramic views of Mahee Bay, Scrabo Tower, and the far shore, while a heavily bunkered green demands a precise tee shot. The club is known for the condition of its course, the warmth of its welcome, and a relaxed atmosphere that keeps the focus on enjoyment. It delivers a premium experience without the premium price tag.
