The 2nd is another dogleg right played to a long thin green.<\/p>\n<p>Water comes into play on the next three holes, but is more apparent on the 4th where you play over the water with your tee shot with water running down both sides of the fairway and comes into play again protecting the front of the green as you play your approach shot. It may only be 323-yards but it can certainly ruin a scorecard if you take it too lightly.<\/p>\n<p>The 5th is the first of the par 3s on the front nine and again is played over a stream to a green that is protected by two bunkers. The other par 3 on this nine comes at the 7th and again water comes into play and anything short and right will be wet, the stonewall behind the pond gives the hole a visual appeal.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><a style=\"color: #ff6600\" href=\"https:\/\/planetgolfreview.com\/Golf-Holidays\/galgorm-castle-northern-ireland.html\"><strong>Click here<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0<\/span>for the rest of the review and video:<span style=\"color: #ff6600\"><strong>\u00a0<a style=\"color: #ff6600\" href=\"https:\/\/planetgolfreview.com\/Golf-Holidays\/galgorm-castle-northern-ireland.html\">https:\/\/planetgolfreview.com\/Golf-Holidays\/galgorm-castle-northern-ireland.html<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_6234\" style=\"width: 650px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2022\/05\/Galgorm-Castle-3rd-Approach-640.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-6234\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6234\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6234\" src=\"http:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2022\/05\/Galgorm-Castle-3rd-Approach-640.jpg\" alt=\"Approach to the 3rd hole\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2022\/05\/Galgorm-Castle-3rd-Approach-640.jpg 640w, https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2022\/05\/Galgorm-Castle-3rd-Approach-640-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2022\/05\/Galgorm-Castle-3rd-Approach-640-90x60.jpg 90w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-6234\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Approach to the 3rd hole<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Galgorm Castle I played this course several years ago in the annual Northern Ireland Open ProAm and it\u2019s a course&#8230;  <a class=\"excerpt-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/golf\/6232\/golf-in-northern-ireland-galgorm-castle\" title=\"ReadGolf In Northern Ireland; Galgorm Castle Review\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":87,"featured_media":6233,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,80,220,1035529,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6232","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-golf","category-courses","category-destinations","category-golf-holiday-reviews","category-courses-and-travel"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2022\/05\/Galgorm-Castle-15th-sunrise-zoom-640.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6232","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=6232"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6232\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6236,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6232\/revisions\/6236"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6233"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6232"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6232"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/planetgolfreview\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6232"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
