Galgorm Castle Golf Club is one of Ireland’s finest Championship courses set in the grounds of a historical estate.  This quality and exciting course has a rich and colourful history to be explored with mysterious stories to be uncovered.

Galgorm Castle is one of the finest examples of Jacobean architecture in Ireland. In May 1607, King James I granted the Ballymena Estate to Rory Og MacQuillan, a mighty warrior, famous for stating “No Captain of this race ever died in his bed,” (which thankfully means Galgorm has one less ghost.). His Castle overlooks and dominates the tenth green and a network of souterrains at the fifth and eighth greens.

 

Galgorm Castle is soaked in history and is a perfect example of where the new and old have come together. The estate has so much to offer including a Championship golf course which is suitable for players of all standards and a walk around the beautiful estate including the facilities of the garden centre and courtyard finishing off your visit by dining in our relaxing and friendly Bar & Restaurant. No matter what you do make sure you be part of the Galgorm Castle experience.
