Mega trip 2015 Northern Ireland (early thread)

Missus and I just had five days and five rounds of golf in Northern Ireland - cost for us both was around £1000

We drove to Cairnryan, got the excellent Stena ferry to Belfast (£220 for us with the car). B&Bs averaged about £75 for us both a night.

I'd say the golf could be the most expensive item - We did that a bit on the cheap, would have been easy to get to around £500 each just for golf) - played the wee course (Annesley Links) at RCD (£28 each) - Malek signed us onto Ardglass (£20 each) - Castlerock was (£90 for us both - husband and wife deal) - the wonderful Valley at Portrush was (£45 each) and Ballycastle (nice people but wouldn't ever want to play there again - was an Open at £15 each)

I'd have played Portstewart if it wasn't £100 a head - it's got the best view from first tee I've ever seen

If you're going to Portstewart/Portrush area then the B&B we stayed in in Portstewart (lovely seaside town) was Cul Erg and it was superb (£80 a night)

Loved golfing in Northern Ireland

two funny quotes in minutes by a couple of scousers lol ;) Think you will be safe for the trip as more chance Fellini being player of the World Cup than LFC make it 6 :)

Just a note after a pm I have received :-

Anybody and everybody is welcome along. Theres no need for a certain number of posts or been on the forum x amount of time etc.

As long as you have golf sticks and little white balls to slash them at that's good enough for me. There is no handicap snobbery involved on this trip either :thup:

Can vouch for that as I went along:rofl:

Depending on cost me and HID are interested. Could I get away with leaving him at home to cut down the cost;)
 
Not played in nearly a year but hoping by next year to get back to it (Knee seems finally to be sorted) so if work or some other nonsence doesn't get in the way you can lightly pencil me in, though can't commit to sept/oct.:fore:

You could base the trip round this tournament https://www.causewaycoastgolf.com

Three great courses and Ballycastle, which is not a top notch course but fun to play, you get a practice round on them all as well as the competition.

Even without playing in that competition the North west is a great destination as you have top class courses at Royal Portrush (Dunluce and Valley), Portstewart, Castlerock, Ballyliffin (2 great courses) and plenty other great links in Donegal.

Other guys over here will point you in other directions but if it's links you want the north west is the destination.

If I can help with anything just shout and depending on where and when you organise the trip for I will definitely be interested in some or all of it.

Its a great comp for both golf and socialising especially Kellys on a wednesday night ,have played in it 5 times and loved everyone.
 
We would be interested again. It would be rude for Wes not to defend his title, I keep telling him it was a hollow victory but he has no shame. :smirk:
