“Fortwilliam was a fantastic day with unbelievable hospitality. We look forward to coming back next year for a society outing, and of course to defend our title at the Society Invitational.”
Just a 10‑minute drive from Belfast city centre and close to main M1 and M2 routes, we're perfectly placed for golf societies travelling from across Northern Ireland.
Fortwilliam Golf Club is the only 18‑hole parkland course in North Belfast, nestled beneath Cavehill with stunning Lough views and we are proud to be one of the leading destinations for golf societies in Belfast and across Northern Ireland. Many visiting golfing societies return to us year after year - a reflection of the memorable experience we provide both on and off the course. Whether you’re organising a one-off society golf day or adding a new venue to your annual calendar, you’ll receive a warm welcome from the team at Fortwilliam.
