The Ebrington Hotel
The Ebrington Hotel is set on the banks of the River Foyle, looking across to the Peace Bridge and Derry's 17th-century walls. You're only five minutes on foot from Guildhall Square, so it's easy to do the city well, grab a pre-dinner pint and still be back in good time for an early tee time.
For golfers, the big win here is variety. You get a city base with walkable restaurants and bars, then world-class links within day-trip distance on the Causeway Coast and up on the Inishowen Peninsula. That means no packing up and moving hotels mid-week, just play, eat well and do it again the next day.
If you're organising the trip for a couple of mates or a full society, Derry also makes life simple. There's plenty going on after the round, and it's a refreshing alternative to the usual resort bubble without sacrificing comfort. Use Ebrington as your hub, then pick your rota of bucket-list links depending on weather and appetite for a test.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want a lively city base with easy day trips to Portrush, Portstewart and Ballyliffin, plus couples and groups who like good food, pubs and a bit of culture after the round.
Who is it best for?
A 3–5 night links tour where you play two or three headline courses without changing hotels, especially for organisers who want everything in one place and a straightforward plan. Base yourself here and we can build the week around guaranteed tee times and sensible drive times, so you spend less time coordinating and more time playing.

Accommodation at The Ebrington Hotel
The Ebrington Hotel has 89 rooms including four signature suites, a smart option if you want extra space for a longer stay or you're sharing as a foursome. After a day walking dunes, the comfort factor matters, and the rooms lean modern, clean-lined and uncluttered. The suites are particularly spacious, with sweeping views over the city and river, ideal for golfers who want a bit more room to relax or for groups sharing a base.
Rooms are well equipped with everything you'd expect, fast wifi, good showers and enough space to spread out your kit without tripping over golf bags. If you're travelling with clubs, there's secure storage and the staff are used to handling golf groups, so check-in and logistics tend to run smoothly. For societies or larger groups, the hotel can accommodate multiple rooms on the same floor, which makes coordinating breakfast times and transfers a lot easier.
Food is a real plus here. The 142-seat restaurant is led by chef Noel McMeel, and the focus is on local, seasonal produce and modern Irish cooking. The menu leans on ingredients from the surrounding area, with dishes that reflect the quality of Northern Ireland's larder. You'll find everything from locally landed fish to grass-fed beef, prepared with enough creativity to keep things interesting over multiple nights. It's an easy stay-in choice on the first night, and a handy fallback if your group doesn't want to wrestle with bookings in town. Breakfast is served early enough to get you out the door for a morning tee time, with a full cooked option and lighter choices if you prefer.
If you're playing a run of links, the spa and wellness centre is a genuine perk. A hydrotherapy pool, sauna and steam room can be the difference between feeling fresh for day three or limping onto the first tee. The facilities are open to hotel guests and offer a quiet space to recover after a long day on the course. For couples, it's also a nice balance if one of you fancies downtime while the other squeezes in an extra round or explores the city.
The Ebrington's real strength is its position. It's rare to find a hotel that combines city-centre convenience with such close access to world-class links golf. Guests can walk to Derry's best restaurants, bars and cultural sites, then drive less than an hour to tee it up on courses that have hosted major championships and feature regularly in Golf Digest and Top 100 Golf Courses rankings. For golfers who want variety, both on and off the course, it's a practical and comfortable choice.
