Clandeboye's Dufferin Course is recognised as a leading inland course on the island of Ireland Ranked, #55th by Golf World. The Ava Course, a true hidden gem also recieves recognition from Golf World ranking as the 53rd Most Fun course to play in the U.K. Both are a must play when visiting Northern Ireland.

On the 6th March 1914, a group of men led by Dr G Lyttle, met in the Lecture Hall of Malone Presbyterian Church on the corner of Balmoral Avenue and established Balmoral Golf Club. As Europe went into the turmoil of the Great War, a board of trustees acquired 75 acres on lease from Hannah and Teresa Hamill at an initial rental of £150 per annum. Subscriptions were struck at a guinea for gentlemen, half-a-guinea for ladies and ten guineas for life membership. This industrious committee set about raising funds for the development of the course by organising dances, whist drives, bridge but especially during the Great War years, income was raised from tillage.
