ABSTRACT

The article presents information about the golf courses in Northern Ireland that he visited during a trip to that country. The golf course surrounding the Radisson Roe Park Resort in Limavady is lush, well maintained and American, while the centuries-old stone wall bordering several holes adds a unique flavor. Castlerock, opened in 1901, snuggles into the sand dunes in the fishing village of the same name. Its 18 holes were largely designed by the estimable Ben Sayers, and nine new holes, the Bann Course, looked spectacular.
