Been a while Since i been to Belfast never had chance to play there but Shandon Park and Dunmurry should be fairly close by and heard good things about them from a few people I know that have played them

If in Belfast I think Malone would be your best bet, it’s a stunning course. Lisburn, dunmurry, knock, belvoir and Shandon are all very impressive too, with Belvoir probably being the best of them. Bangor has a couple but they wouldn’t just be quite as good, there’s Bangor golf club and Carnalea. Although there are a couple of really nice courses in Blackwood and Clandeboye about 10/15 mins outside Bangor. I am a member at a great links course called Kirkistown about 25mins from Bangor that I would be only too happy to show you round and play with you.

When are you travelling?
I play at Clandeboye and if it suited would be happy to show you around.
Used to be a member at Carnalea and Blackwood but would say Clandeboye is a step above them (maybe a biased opinion).
Really good summary above and it really depends if you have transport and what your budget is.

Cool, I should be about around then. Weather is normally good in May and with the good winter over here the course is in pretty decent nick already. Give me a shout if you are interested and we can get something arranged

Its a few years back but on a Belfast trip once I was taken to Bangor and Clandeboye...
...really enjoyed both and they were in great condition - can't go wrong with either

Played Bangor, Knock and Carnalea, all three courses in excellent condition. Personal preference would be Knock purely due to it being a stiffer test than the others. Carnalea was the shortest and most quirky, some very nice holes but far to many blind tee shots for my liking, possibly 8 or 9. Bangor was the nicest clubhouse and a lovely course but jesus all three were designed by a mountain goat.
