Course Description:
Mahee Island Golf Club is a 9 hole parkland course set on an Island in existence since 1929 and designed by a Mr. Robinson it measures 5,508 yards with a Par 68 and a SSS to match off the men's tees. The ladies course is not much shorter at 5,336 yards and a par 70 SSS 70. Mahee Island has some magnificent views of Strangford Lough and has the distinction of appointing the legendry Fred Daly as its first professional, the story goes that Fred used practice his chipping into a hole in one of the trees that still stand on the first fairway (What a pity Harry Bradshaw didn't practice playing out of a bottle, then we would have had two Open Champions!) Mahee has no bar but meals can be arranged if booked in advance.
