Club Captain Neil Bailey
I am delighted and honoured to be Lady Captain of Donaghadee Golf club in 2025/26. Our 125-year-old, championship course, located in the historic town of Donaghadee, enjoys stunning views over the Copeland Islands and Irish Sea.
Having been an active member of the golf club since 2009, I have immensely enjoyed the
friendly and competitive side of golf; as well as being a keen supporter of ‘Girls into Golf’,
the Junior Programme, the Ladies’ Winter Friendly Team, and of course the Annual Bridge Drive.I am looking forward to continuing my support for these important club initiatives. I can assure members and visitors alike of a warm welcome at Donaghadee Golf Club, both on the course and in the clubhouse. I wish all competitors well for the year ahead.
