When I spot the first tee perched right outside the clubhouse on the rocks with the Irish Sea crashing against them I have to smile to myself, I take a look up the fairway and spot the green between some dunes protected by a bunker. What a perfect way to start a round of golf.<\/p>\n<p>I try to contain my excitement as I check in with Paul Vaughan who is the professional here and after a refreshing drink in the bar, I am off and standing on that very tee and crash my drive up the fairway. What I didn\u2019t see on my arrival at the green, but comes into view in spectacular fashion is the backdrop to that 1st green; my eyes light up at the wonderful vistas. Of course, there\u2019s only one way to follow that opening hole and that is to have a par 3, played over an inlet with the sea glistening in the background. Ardglass you certainly know how to make a statement.<\/p>\n<p>I have to say, I am not even sure that the 2nd is the best par 3 on the course, the 10th played downhill with the sea and village as a backdrop, the 12th again played from an elevated tee with more sea views and the 7th with its tiny white cottage to the right of the green again with those stunning sea views.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/planetgolfreview.com\/Golf-Holidays\/royal-portrush-golf-club-northern-ireland.html\"><strong>Click here<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0for the rest of the review and video:\u00a0<span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong><a style=\"color: #ff6600\" href=\"https:\/\/planetgolfreview.com\/Golf-Holidays\/ardglass-golf-club-northern-ireland-review.html\">https:\/\/planetgolfreview.com\/Golf-Holidays\/ardglass-golf-club-northern-ireland-review.html<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6158\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2022\/03\/Ardglass-Golf-Course-Aerial_master-640.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6158\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6158\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6158\" src=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2022\/03\/Ardglass-Golf-Course-Aerial_master-640.jpg\" alt=\"Aerial view of Ardglass GC running along the cliffs \u00a9 NI Tourist Board\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2022\/03\/Ardglass-Golf-Course-Aerial_master-640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2022\/03\/Ardglass-Golf-Course-Aerial_master-640-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2022\/03\/Ardglass-Golf-Course-Aerial_master-640-90x60.jpg 90w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6158\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Aerial view of Ardglass GC running along the cliffs \u00a9 NI Tourist Board<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ardglass\u00a0Golf Club As I step out of the car I take a deep breath of that fresh, crisp Irish air&#8230;  <a class=\"excerpt-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/golf\/6156\/golf-in-northern-ireland-ardglass-gc-review\" title=\"ReadGOLF IN NORTHERN IRELAND: Ardglass GC REVIEW\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":87,"featured_media":6157,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1035529,9,17,10580],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6156","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-golf-holiday-reviews","category-golf","category-courses-and-travel","category-golfontheweb"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2022\/03\/Ardglass-GC-2nd-640.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6156","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/87"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6156"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6156\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6159,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6156\/revisions\/6159"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6157"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6156"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6156"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6156"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
