Galgorm Castle

The Galgorm Collection added padel to its Ballymena estate in October 2025, investing roughly three hundred thousand pounds in courts that sit alongside the resort’s championship golf course and spa. What launched as two covered courts has since grown to four on Playtomic’s live listing, all bookable on a pay-and-play basis with no membership required, and the operator had already flagged plans to expand further. Court hire has previously run twenty-four to thirty-two pounds an hour. Free parking, a restaurant and a snack bar are on site at 200 Galgorm Road. It’s roughly a 30-minute drive from Belfast, bringing padel to Ballymena for the first time.
