Royal County Down Golf Club (Annesley Links)

Royal County Down Golf Club’s Annesley Links is an 18-hole links course set beside the Championship Links, but it plays noticeably shorter while still offering plenty of character and a stern challenge. Created and refined through major updates and completely new holes by Martin Ebert, the layout rewards thoughtful shot-making and a feel for classic links golf. Framed by dramatic scenery, the course looks out across the sea, mountains and duneland, with the landscape shaping the rhythm of play from hole to hole. With a par of 68 and a well-established caddie programme that is part of the experience, Annesley Links offers golfers a testing and memorable round in a spectacular setting.
