Golf
Cushendall Golf Club nestles at the foot of the beautiful Glenballyeamon in the celebrated Glens of Antrim. This small, picturesque 9-hole course is bounded by the quaint village of Cushendall landward side, while the waves of Red Bay pound its northern shores. The River Dall meanders through the course to the sea and it is due to it's presence that the course owes it's "tricky” reputation. It's murmuring waters create out of bounds at the first five holes and reappear with a vengeance at the last two, making any wayward shot almost sure to find a watery grave. The recently renovated Clubhouse stands right on Cushendall beach and enjoys spectacular views across the Sea of Moyle to the Mull of Kintyre on the Scottish coast, which is just over 20 miles away.
