Relax, Dine, and Unwind in Our Coastal Clubhouse
Members Perks
Carnalea members enjoy exclusive access to our bar and restaurant, with a 20% discount on all drinks. Whether you’re raising a glass after a round or catching up with friends, it’s just one more reason to feel at home at the Clubhouse.
Views Fit for the Ocassion
With sweeping views across Belfast Lough, the Carnalea clubhouse bar and restaurant is the perfect place to unwind. Access is reserved for members and their guests, or for visitors playing as ‘members for the day’ through paid green fees. Whether you're enjoying a post-round drink or simply taking in the scenery, you're always in good company.
Courts Dining
Led by owner-manager Paula Gregory with Head Chef Nicky Burch, Courts Dining showcases the best of local produce in a welcoming, relaxed setting. Expect a menu that balances elevated specials with golfers’ favourites and quick-bite snacks—perfect for everything from casual lunches to family dinners and celebrations.
Bar
Our fully stocked bar is open throughout the week and welcomes both members and guests.
Led by Bar Manager Robert Vannucci and his team, the bar offers a relaxed and friendly setting with panoramic views of the course and Belfast Lough — stretching to the west coast of Scotland on a clear day. Multiple TVs make it the perfect spot to catch major sporting events, while golfers teeing off at the 1st, 5th, and 9th holes provide live entertainment for those gathered on the terrace.
