Helen’s Bay Golf Club
Helen’s Bay Golf Club is one of the prettiest golf courses in the area. Founded in 1896 by its first patron Fredrick Hamilton Temple Blackwood, Marquis of Dufferin and Ava, it nestles on a gentle hill over Belfast Lough in the middle of the picturesque Helen’s Bay village.
Although a 9-hole course its layout is a true test of accurate golf and has been enjoyed by members and visitors alike for the challenge it sets even the experienced golfer.
The parkland/seaside course has the luxury of a beautiful coastal setting with stunning views across Belfast Lough towards the Antrim Hills.
