Blackwood Golf Centre

James, the organiser of The Blackwood Golf Centre, extends a warm welcome to the sports community. Located within the scenic parklands of the Clandeboye Estate in Bangor, Northern Ireland, The Blackwood Golf Centre is a top “PAY & PLAY” golf facility, just 3 miles from Bangor and 12 miles from Belfast city centre.

James highlights that The Blackwood Golf Centre is open to the public 7 days a week all year round. For regular visitors, there is a membership scheme that offers unlimited tee times. The centre features two eighteen-hole courses: the Temple (par 54) and the championship Hamilton course (par 71).

In addition to the golf courses, the centre offers various facilities. The LUXE Day Spa provides a retreat for relaxation after a round, and The 19 Coffee House is perfect for a quick bite or a refreshing drink. The golf shop has the latest gear, while the Personal Training gym and onsite physiotherapy services ensure guests stay fit and healthy.

James is particularly proud of the state-of-the-art driving range, equipped with Toptracer Technology. With 26 covered bays, targets at various distances, and high-quality range balls, golfers can practice their swing and improve their game. The outdoor practice areas include a short game facility and a putting green designed to emulate USGA conditions.

The Academy at The Blackwood is recognised as North Down's centre of excellence for golf improvement, where PGA Professionals provide personalised instruction for golfers of all ages and abilities. Facilities include a driving range, putting green, short game area, and two courses, all complemented by state-of-the-art technology like trackman.

As a professional Golf Coach, James has gathered experience from some of the world's most recognised coaches, including Michael Bannon, coach to Rory McIlroy. This expertise and passion for golf make The Blackwood Golf Centre an ideal destination for learning and improvement.

James invites everyone, whether seasoned players or newcomers, to visit The Blackwood Golf Centre. He assures that the courses, facilities, and expert staff are dedicated to making golf enjoyable and accessible to all.
