Golf LinksHouse

Golf Links House stands on the Dundrum Road in Newcastle, overlooking Royal County Down golf course, and has been run by the same family since Eileen McPolin opened it as a two-room guest house in 1976 to bring in income while raising her young family. The business is now in its second generation and has grown to twelve bedrooms alongside a seventy-seat restaurant serving breakfast through to dinner, with a bar and a function room used for weddings and private parties. The kitchen leans on local produce, including seafood and steak, rather than a fixed set menu. Guests are a mix of golfers using the adjoining links, walkers heading into the Mournes, and wedding parties booking the function space. It remains one of Newcastle's few family-run guest houses still owned by its founding family.
