For golfers planning an Ireland trip, Flagstaff Lodge Newry offers a compact, recently built 18-room base with straightforward motorway access between Belfast and Dublin. The property’s roots as the former Newry Golf Inn and its history as a par-3 hostelry give it a golfing character, while modern ensuite rooms (opened 2016) provide comfortable overnight stays. Food-focused facilities including a lounge bar and carvery make post-round meals convenient on-site. Located on the outskirts of Newry and close to scenic areas such as the Ring of Gullion and the Mournes, the lodge suits itineraries that combine coastal or mountain courses with mainland links farther afield. Its roadside position just off the A1/M1 helps groups move easily between courses across the region, making it a practical overnight choice when organising multi-course golf days.
