GOLF 15

Newcastle

GOLF COURSES Northern Ireland is home to 90 golf clubs, including the no. 1 course in the world, Royal County Down. From gentle links and parkland courses to challenging championship courses, you’ll find a range to play near and around Newcastle. GOLF 16

Golf around

COUNTY DOWN Just steps from our front door sits Royal County Down, consistently ranked no. 1 in the world by Golf Digest. Founded in 1889, it’s a naturally beautiful links setting, with the Mountains of Mourne as backdrop. For those looking to extend their journey, Dublin lies less than two hours south, home to Portmarnock, a 19-time host of the Irish Open, and The Island Golf Club, a remote peninsula course reachable only by boat until 1973. Two of Ireland’s finest, well worth the detour. ROYAL COUNTY DOWN GOLF CLUB ARDGLASS GOLF CLUB

PORTFOLIO 23

We are a hotel brand devoted to golf hospitality. Golf is the animating force behind everything we do. Our Scottish roots ground us in the birthplace of the sport, yet every property brings a unique identity with rich heritage and legacy, as well as proximity to the world’s most celebrated and historic golf courses, from the Old Course at St Andrews and Royal County Down to Royal Dornoch and Muirfield. We are not just adjacent to golf, we are deeply embedded in the traditions and ever-evolving culture of the sport. The visual language of the game, from epic landscapes and tartans to scorecards and clubhouse rituals, inform the entire guest experience from architecture, design, and interiors to our wellness offerings, food and beverage, brand ethos, and events. We believe the rituals, rhythms, culture, and camaraderie around the round define the trip experience as much as the game itself. At Marine & Lawn Golf Hotels, the game of golf comes to life both on and off the course.
