Royal County Down is located in one of the world’s most naturally
beautiful links settings in the Murlough Nature Reserve. Against the
magnificent backdrop of the Mountains of Mourne, the links stretches
along the shores of Dundrum Bay, zigzagging back and forth to provide a
different vista from virtually every hole.
The ninth hole is one of the most photographed holes in world golf. A 486 yard par 4, it is played from one side of a huge mound down to a fairway some 60 ft below and 260 yards from the tee.
