Golf near Belfast in numbers
By distance from Belfast, 12 are within 10km of the centre, 24 are 10 to 25km out and 16 are 25 to 50km out. Because these are straight-line figures, the drive is usually longer.
The courses fall in four counties. Down holds the most (24), while the rest are in Antrim (22), Armagh (5) and Londonderry (1).
24 list a par, from 27 to 72. Because tees differ from club to club, treat these figures as a guide.
2 of the 52 courses have a listed founding year, from 1895 to 1904. 1 of them was founded before 1900. However, the rest have no year on record, so the oldest club here may be older than it looks.
The closest other city pages are Glasgow (176km), Preston (230km) and Edinburgh (230km). Courses between two cities can appear on both pages, since each page covers its own 50km circle.
Each page measures from one point in the centre of Belfast, and a course appears only if it has a map position. As a result, a club just outside the circle is not listed here, although it may be on a neighbouring page.
