Golfers Welcome

The South of the Island boasts three fabulous golf courses, all offering stunning views over the Irish sea.

 

Rowany Golf Club, Port Erin is only 5 minute walk (400m) from the hotel. It offers a well maintained, eighteen hole, heathland course.

 

Only two miles away, Port St Mary Golf Club has the distinction of being the Island’s only nine-hole course.

 

Just six and a half miles east lies the Castletown Golf Links, a classic course on a stunning peninsula. Castletown features in the Rolex World rankings of top golf courses  and is widely regarded as one of the best golf courses in the United Kingdom.

 

And if that isn’t enough for your golfing holiday – there are 5 more golf courses on the Island! The furthest away is at the very north of the Island, and is still less than an hours drive away.

Golf has long been popular in Port Erin

The forgotten Golf Course

Not everyone remembers that there used to be two golf courses in Port Erin – both established in 1895.

 

Port Erin Golf Club, located on Bradda Head was described as having facilities on a lavish scale, with two x 8-hole golf courses. An advert of 1929 stated:

“THE BEST GOLF IN THE ISLE OF MAN

BRADDA HEAD

Holiday Golfers should visit this sporting course, a truly sea coast Links, surrounded by bracing air, glorious cliffs, and magnificent Seascapes.”
