I could probably find this out by e-mailing the club, but figured someone here might have a more personal connection.....

Anybody happen to have contact info for the super of Royal County Down?

I just made my tee time this morning for my probably-once-in-a-lifetime chance to play this magnificant course (or so I hear) on my upcoming trip through Northern Europe....playing on April 11th to be exact. 10:20am. I'm already brimming with excitement.

But I'd love to contact the super and at least tell him I'll be in town if not meet him and pick his brain a little. Anyone have a tie to this course?

Thanks in advance....and any tidbits of advice for visiting the general area are always welcomed, even though it will be a quick loop through Ireland that we're making.

Hi,
I can probably help although he is not likely to be there on Saturday.  If you email me off board I will respond.
Kind regards,

Don't stay in Newcastle...not an exciting town.

Take lots of cash as the pro shop is nicely stocked but very pricey!

Here is a link to my photos from the course:

You might consider staying in the Old George Hotel in Rathfriland. It's about 10 miles away in a funny old hilltop village, but it's very inexpensive, the breakfast is unbelievably generous and good, the propietors are very welcoming and make sure you get a room overlooking the Mourne Mountains - the view from the hotel is stunning. It's well used by the locals and you'll meet some entertaining folk.
