Dunmurry Golf Club is located in Dunmurry Lane, southwest of Belfast. It consists of an 18-hole course with a par of 70. The golf course provides the golfer with a unique opportunity to play one of Northern Ireland’s finest layouts in a serene environment on outstandingly presented playing surfaces. In 1983, Dunmurry Golf Club moved from its original location north of Dunmurry village to a site overlooking the River Lagan and adjacent to Sir Thomas and Lady Dixon Park. With views up the Lagan valley to the south and north towards the Belfast hills, the course merges into the woodlands comprising the Lagan Valley Regional Park.
Dunmurry has matured quickly and now provides some of the best playing conditions in the Belfast area. The 18 holes offer a variety of challenges, none more so than the par 5 fourth, requiring three accurate shots to reach an elevated, double-tiered green, the approach to which is well protected by mature trees.
Best days for visitors to play: Mon, Tues, Wed, Thurs and Sun

Did you know? Max McCready really put Dunmurry on the golfing map. In 1949 he won the British Amateur Championship, held at Portmarnock GC. This led to selection for the Walker Cup, and the following year he made a valiant attempt to defend his title, losing in the Final. The Lounge Bar in the current Clubhouse is named in his honour. 27
