  • Today’s video takes us to Royal Belfast Golf Club, the oldest golf club in Northern Ireland! Stephen and I team up against Alexandra and Gavin for a friendly match on this legendary course. The greens were quick and the bunkers were very creative on this parkland track. The match was another story! Alex and Gavin really gave us a run for our money. Royal Belfast is without a doubt a world class golf course. It was a blast to play and I can’t wait to come back.

    Loads of really good parkland courses close to Royal Belfast - Shandon Park GC (my home course), Belvoir GC, Holywood GC (McIlroys home course), Knock GC. Stay in Belfast city centre and all these courses are about 20mins max away, you could play them all for less than £150 in green fees

    Awesome!! Visited Ireland last September and was fortunate to play this beautiful course! The views were spectacular. Belfast is a beautiful city! I was able to play the third oldest course in Ireland as well, the Royal Dublin. Definitely recommend playing that course as well if you make it south to Dublin. Love your content EAL. Cheers!

    EAL: I have had 2 shanks on this hole but I'm working on it.
    EAL has a superb mindset on how he views golf. You can see he just feels exhilirated to be out there. He oozes golf, it comes out of his pores. He makes you want to get off your ass and start playing.

    Pretty sure Royal Curragh is actually the oldest course/club on the island of Ireland, dating to the 1850s as far as I know

    • @Dreyno
      @Dreyno 2 роки тому

      I don’t know if the current course is as old as that but the Curragh definitely pre-dates Royal Belfast by some distance as a location that golf was played in Ireland.

    On Sunday, I heard someone on my random executive golf course say "Ace cam is live" from the previous tee box. It must have inspired me since I put it 6 feet from the hole from my tee box.

      @@RandomGolfClubFilms Wow I wasn't expecting a response. I'm a super huge fan. But yeah, you get the opportunity to play so many courses that most of us could only ever dream about playing. It would just be cool to see every shot from one of those rounds. On another note, I live in a place called Prince Edward Island, Canada. We're a province of 150k people and we have 30 golf courses here. I believe it may be the highest per capita in the world. If you ever make it here, it'd be amazing to play a round with the coolest man in golf!
