Course Description:
Ringdufferin Golf Club is only in existence since 1993, it opened as an 9-hole course, but thanks to the progressive committees it was not long before Frank Ainsworth redesigned it into an 18-hole course, measuring 5,093 yards with a Par 68 and a standard scratch of 66 off the men's tees. The ladies course is slightly shorter at 4,881 yards but with a Par of 69 and SSS 69. Located on the shores of Strangford Lough which the golfer can savour the views from the multitude of elevated tees and the course is characterised by its undulating fairways. The visitor will be accommodated at most times but do phone in advance on Sundays and Bank Holidays just to be sure.
