Origins

A nine-hole course first opened on the present property on 30 April 1898 for Knock Golf Club, which had been founded in 1895. Knock moved away in 1920. The idea of establishing Shandon Park Golf Club on the vacated ground emerged in 1925.

Did You Know?
Golf was played on the present site 27 years before Shandon Park Golf Club itself was conceived.

Design Philosophy

The full 18-hole course was developed in 1936 by the club professional with assistance from Eric Riley. The resulting routing uses compact mature parkland in east Belfast.

Development

The move from the inherited nine-hole property to a complete 18-hole course in 1936 established the basic form of Shandon Park as it exists today.

Recognition

The club's history records a sustained tradition of producing international amateur players and golfers selected for major representative teams.

Today

Shandon Park remains an active members' and visitor club with four principal rated tee sets and seasonal visitor green fees.
