Golf Club

Established in 1895, Massereene Golf Club offers a challenging and picturesque 18 hole par 72 parkland course. With panoramic views over Lough Neagh, it creates a challenge for all levels of skill and experience. Co host of the 2021 ISPS HANDA World Invitational! which has been elevated to European Tour status following the hugely successful inaugural edition on the European Challenge Tour in 2019.

Situated on the north shores of Lough Neagh, Massereene Golf Club enjoys panoramic views of the Lough as far as County Tyrone on the west side. Stretched over 140 acres, you can enjoy a stunning parkland course with an array of fairways outlined by mature trees. The first hole is a good indication of what challenge lie ahead. The first nine are tree lined with well placed bunkers; the inward nine consists of more undulating fairways, reminiscent of a links course, finishing on the 18th green beside the clubhouse. Equally the narrow fairways and small greens place a priority on accuracy rather than distance, making it a rewarding test for even the lower handicap golfer. With lush fairways, silky smooth greens and spectacular views of Lough Neagh, Massereene Golf Club offers a fantastic challenge and a wonderful day out. Massereene Golf Club is a Co- Host of ISPS HANDA World Invitational with Galgorm Castle Golf Club. The event seen tremendous success in 2019 & 2021 and is set to return in August 2022.
