Bishops Gate Hotel Derry
Set inside Derry's historic city walls in the Cathedral Quarter, the Grade B1 listed Bishops Gate Hotel is a smart pick if you want a bit of character with your golf trip. Built in 1899 and carefully restored, it keeps the Edwardian charm but feels comfortable for a long weekend or a full northwest tour.
You're right in the middle of the city here, so when you've finished your last putt the night doesn't fizzle out. St Columb's Cathedral is close by and you can walk to plenty of pubs, restaurants and live music spots in minutes, which is ideal for societies who want a lively base without needing taxis.
For golf, it works well as a hub for the northwest. Royal Portrush, Portstewart and Castlerock are all within easy driving range and Ballyliffin is doable for a big-day outing. If you're organising a group, the boutique size keeps things personal, while the on-site dining and function space make it straightforward to run a dinner or presentation without leaving the hotel.
Expect elegant public spaces, a quality restaurant and a setting that feels a world away from a standard chain hotel, all with the buzz of Derry on your doorstep.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want a lively city base in Derry with boutique character, great food and easy access to the northwest links.
Who is it best for?
Societies and groups who want to play Portrush, Portstewart and Castlerock, then walk out for a night in the Cathedral Quarter.

Accommodation at Bishops Gate Hotel Derry
Bishops Gate has 31 rooms across the main hotel plus the adjacent London St Apartments, so you can match the set-up to your group. If you're coming as a society, you'll typically lean towards the main building for a more traditional hotel feel, while the apartments are handy if you want extra space, a bit more independence or you're travelling with non-golfers.
Rooms are individually styled and the colour palette nods to the building's Edwardian roots: dove greys, moss greens, rich plum tones and gold accents. It's an upmarket, cosy look rather than something overly modern. Comfort is strong too, with King Koil beds and plush finishes that make a difference after 36 holes and a long drive back from the coast.
The apartments are the flexible option for longer stays, especially for groups who like to spread out between rounds. They offer separate living space and self-contained facilities, which can be a real plus if you're trying to keep the trip good value without eating out every meal. All rooms include complimentary Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and tea and coffee facilities, with the suites adding separate seating areas and upgraded bathrooms.
If you're travelling with multiple sets of clubs, it's worth checking storage arrangements at the time of booking so the logistics are smooth for the group. The upside of a boutique property is that everything feels close and easy once you're checked in, no trekking through endless corridors with your shoes and waterproofs.
Public spaces include the wood-panelled Hervey Library for quieter moments, the Northern Counties Ballroom for larger gatherings and society dinners, and The Wig and Gown restaurant and bar for all-day dining. The restaurant focuses on locally sourced seasonal ingredients across a menu of classic dishes with modern touches, and the relaxed atmosphere suits both formal society dinners and casual post-round meals. Breakfast is served daily with both continental and cooked options, and there's an extensive drinks list including local whiskeys, craft beers and a strong champagne and cocktail selection.
The hotel's city-centre location also means dozens of alternative restaurants, pubs and bars are within a five-minute walk, giving groups plenty of choice for varied dining across a multi-night stay.
