Templepatrick Golf Club @ Kingfisher Country Estate
At a glance Type of course: Parkland Length of course in yards: 7081 Par: 72
The four star luxury Hilton Belfast Templepatrick Golf and Country Club is situated on 220 acres of beautiful park and woodland on the Castle Upton Estate. This 18-hole course, designed by David Jones and David Feherty, is acclaimed as one of Northern Ireland’s finest. It features 7000 yards of challenging fairways and greens interspersed with lakes and mature parkland. Probably the most daunting drive you will encounter is at the par 4 13th. To find the narrow fairway you need to avoid the Six Mile River on the right and two fairway bunkers on the left. To reach the green you must thread between the two bunkers hugging the left side of the green and stay out of the afore mentioned river. Just a few miles from Belfast International Airport, it’s perfectly situated for business or leisure visitors to make time for 18 holes. Before you take on the course, you can warm up on our floodlit driving range incorporating 16 bays, 7 with an automated
teeing system, a short-game zone and putting green. The course has hosted major professional and amateur tournaments including the Ladies European Tour Northern Ireland Open and the Senior British Open Amateur Championships.
