ROYAL BELFAST
In 1925 the
responsibility of course design and layout at the present location was
given to H.S. Colt the eminent English course architect of the day, who
also laid out the Royal Portrush course. With the assistance of Walker Cup
player W.A. Murray, Colt produced a course of great charm which provides a
true test of golfing skill and which has one of the loveliest settings of
any in Britain with its unrivalled views of Belfast Lough and the Antrim
plateau beyond. The course remains much the same today as it was then.
The Royal Belfast Golf Club is one of only four golf clubs in Ireland that
have been honoured with the title "Royal", having been visited in 1885 by
the Prince of Wales who became the club's first patron. This patronage has
continued through the history of the club, the position currently being
held by Prince Andrew, Duke of York.
