Belfast - best course in the area?

[Snelly]

Been in Belfast all day and have got the order for a new project there. I've promised a couple of the decision makers a round of golf near Belfast to celebrate the success of the project when it launches so need some help on choosing a venue?

When ever I fly in. I always think Royal Belfast looks decent. A good choice? Or Malone?

To the guys in this neck of the woods, what do you think?

Belvoir or Malone would be my two picks. There are a few nice holes at Royal Belfast but I wouldn't say it is as nice as the others mentioned. Jim the head greenkeeper at RBGC was a long friend of my dad and he takes delight in having his greens faster than Augusta so it can be 'fun', but again I prefer the layouts and challenges of the two parkland courses over this particular club.

Agree with Malone or Belvoir. Personal preference for Malone but can't go too wrong with either. Royal Belfast not in the same league for me.

Drive for an hour and get out of Belfast. Can't recommend concra wood enough.

Great course,Scenery stunning.

Concra is the one that my customers mentioned.

Thanks all.

The only things that might disappoint you at concra is the road up to the clubhouse and possibly the bar maids.

Another vote for the set up at Malone, club and course are superb. Play it regularly when over visiting the in-laws.

OK, if the question is Best Course in Belfast (which includes Monaghan), then that also lets in RCD, Portrush and others. There is no course in Ireland worth driving past RCD for.

He has played rcd AFAIK a few times.

I count an hours drive for a game as 'in the area'.

Concra was just a course he may not know about. Pretty sure he will have heard of the others.

Plus there should be less people from Belfast there

Just keep away from Larne and anywhere is fine.....

Belvoir = beaver. Just to avoid any embarrassing chats.

Haha yup indeed, though when referring to the club in any sort of comedy derogatory way you must pronounce it bell-voire in a posh voice.
