CASTLEROCK
Castlerock,
set among rolling sand dunes, is yet another great links course on the
Causeway Coast situated in the seaside village of Castlerock. Its scenic
qualities embrace the river Bann flowing out to the Atlantic, and also
eye-catching views of Donegal and on a clear day towards Scotland and the
Isle of Islay. The Championship Mussenden Course is a par 73. The best
known hole is the fourth, called the "Leg O'Mutton 2", a 200 yard par-3
with a railway line to the right, a burn to the left and a raised green.
Additionally the 9-hole Bann course has widened the appeal of the club and
contains a par-5 described as "one of the most scenic holes in Irish
golf".
