Scrabo, set in the shadow of its famous Tower, has its own unique personality and is a favourite amongst Northern Ireland golfers. The course offers magnificent views over Strangford Lough and the Mourne Mountains. Renowned for its narrow, gorse-bordered fairways, accurate driving is essential. No more so than at the 424m par 4 first hole which Christy O’Connor Senior described as one of the best opening holes in Ireland.
