About Bangor Golf Club

Bangor Golf Club is an 18-hole parkland course in Bangor, County Down. The club was founded in February 1903 and its original nine-hole course opened on 13 June that year, with a second nine added in 1904. The course now played is a later layout: after the club acquired additional land in 1933 and moved across Broadway, James Braid designed a completely new 18-hole course on the present site.

The new course and clubhouse were formally opened in 1935. The men's course is par 71, while club information lists the ladies' course as par 72. Although alterations have been made over the decades, the club says the course remains recognisably a Braid design.

The course is an 18-hole parkland golf course. Designed by James Braid, the course originally opened in 1903. It is open to the public. On-site facilities include Golf shop, Restaurant, Bar, Putting green, Chipping green, Practice nets, Practice area, Changing rooms, and 3 more.

Origins

The club was founded in February 1903 and affiliated with the Golfing Union of Ireland the following month. Its original nine-hole course opened on 13 June 1903 and a second nine followed in 1904.

Did You Know?
Bangor's first course had only nine holes and was replaced rather than simply extended into the present layout.

Development

More land was acquired in 1933, allowing the club to move across Broadway to its present site. James Braid designed a completely new 18-hole course there. The present clubhouse was opened on 6 April 1935 by the Prime Minister of Northern Ireland, Viscount Craigavon, and Lady Craigavon formally opened the new course by driving the first ball.

The layout has subsequently been modified but the club says it retains many original features and remains recognisably a Braid course.

Today

Bangor operates as an 18-hole parkland club with practice areas, professional services, golf shop, clubhouse dining and changing facilities.
