"This is a beautiful course.
Walking down the 18th in the middle of this historic village reminds me of walking up the 18th at St. Andrews."

"Hi Paul
I wanted to thank you for assisting in getting my surprise Christmas present.
You and my wife managed to totally shock me with my Ardglass shirt which I will enjoy wearing and explaining what a great place it is to all my golfing partners.
More importantly, I want to thank you for allowing us to play your fantastic course.
I find it hard to believe that it is almost unknown to American golfers since it is one of the top 3 courses I have played in Ireland and this was my 4th trip there."

Scott Restiano, New Jersey, Location: United States

"A beautiful scenery, with some very tricky links holes to start with, I could really recommend this golf course to anyone with an obsession to play links golf "

Pal Sundquist, Nynashamns GK, Location: Sweden

"We loved the views and the excellent condition of the course. Some very spectacular holes.
Unfortunately, we played in a 40 mile per hour wind which made the course very difficult.
The hospitality of the staff and the club captain was greatly appreciated.
I have been to Northern Ireland 7 times and would hope to play Ardglass again on my next trip."

Charles Rose, Woodcrest GC, Location: United States

"En otroligt vacker, men svårspelad inledning i stark motvind, sätter spår i minnesbanken för evigt. Även andra delar av banan såsom 10:an 11:an och 12:an är lätta att komma ihåg."

Benny Larsson, Nynäshamn GK, Location: Sweden

"I just returned from a golf trip to Ireland with 4 couples.
We played all of the "big names" and would rank Ardglass on a par with many of them. The greens were better than Royal County Down, European Club or Portmarnock, the views were better than Portstewart, Waterville or Doonbeg.
The 11th hole was as good as any we played anywhere.
Ardglass was genuinely playable for the ladies, which unfortunately was not true of many of the other courses over there.
A true hidden gem."

Bob Montgomery, Hiwan Golf Club, Evergreen, Colorado., Location: United States

"This is the BEST KEPT SECRET IN IRELAND.
I just finished the dream golf trip playing Ballybunion, Royal Portrush, Portmarnock, Druids Glen, Ardglass, and Royal County Down.
I'm not exaggerating when I say that the round at Ardglass was the most enjoyable and memorable of them all. I cant believe everyone does not know about Ardglass. The greens were the best of any of the courses I played by far, in fact they were the only ones on par with what I would expect from a premium priced golf course.
The blend of rock and ocean made for some incredibly dramatic holes. Come to think of it, there isnt a bad hole on this course. The views of the ocean, rocks, islands made this the most photogenic of all the courses I played.
The staff, the clubhouse, the food, the local club members I played with were all fantastic as well.
I cant wait to get back."

Aaron Glazier, Hot Springs Village, AR, Location: United States

"Just got back from Northern Ireland including a round at Ardglass.
What a wonderful setting for golf.
One of the most fun rounds of golf ever played.
Hope to come back again. Great hospitality.
Thanks"

Tim Click, Tennessee National, Location: United States

"I had a very memorable introduction to Ardglass Golf Club playing along side my cousin Noel Burke on an unusually calm evening on August 9th 2011 at 5pm, I actually got a sun tan, hardly any wind and the sun was shining for most of the round.
Now, I just want to come back when the wind is howling to experience this marvelous course at its wildest and most threatening.
Ardglass is deserving of the title a hidden gem and if you have the opportunity to play it, go for it, you will not be disappointed.
