Grand Central Hotel, Belfast
Hastings Grand Central is more than a hotel. It’s an ode to a city. Standing tall in Bedford Street, this impressive jewel fuses glamour and grandeur with a uniquely Belfast spirit. Perfectly placed in Belfast City. Just as Belfast is at the heart of the Grand Central, the Grand Central is at the heart of Belfast. Set in the up and coming Linen Quarter, the hotel is a spectacular hub for exploring Titanic Quarter’s history or Cathedral Quarter’s charming cobbled streets, pubs and eateries.
Portstewart Golf Club
Links golf at its very best. Founded in 1894, Portstewart Golf Club is home to three true links courses. The outstanding Championship Strand Course was the host for the 2017 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open. Jon Rahm, the 2017 winner was certainly impressed, saying “the golf course is amazing. It’s probably one of the most beautiful golf courses I have ever seen, if not the most.” Currently ranked 3rd in Northern Ireland.
Ardglass Golf Club
Ardglass Golf Course is an 18-hole links course on the north-eastern coast of Ireland with some stunning views and many excellent and unique golf holes. The course hugs the coastline, with no fewer than eight holes where the Irish Sea coastline comes into play. The Irish Sea is visible from all 18 holes. The clubhouse at Ardglass is the oldest in the world, dating back to 1405AD.
Royal County Down Golf Club
Often ranked number 1 in the world, and always ranked in the top 3, Royal County Down is located in one of the world's most naturally beautiful links settings in the Murlough Nature Reserve. Against the magnificent backdrop of the Mountains of Mourne, the links stretches along the shores of Dundrum Bay, zigzagging back and forth to provide a different vista from virtually every hole.
