Castletown Golf Links is a tournament golf course on the Isle of Man, and is a A Top 100 course designed by Old Tom Morris and redesigned by Mackenzie Ross. It offers a 17th hole which drives "over the Irish Sea".

The links has hosted, among other events, the PGA Cup (1979), Europro Tour 2002, Manx Classic Pro Am and the Duke of York Young Champions Trophy in 2003 and again in 2005.

Murray Crowe has been the course professional for 40 years, with his daughter Jackie Kebbell as the touring professional representing Castletown Golf Links. Jackie has taken part in the Weetabix LPGA tournament several times and played in Australia for a period.

The GCC website (below) has a gallery showing views of the Langness Peninsula and the other parts of the golf course including that part between Langness and Castletown. This latter area is named the Race Course because, there, a century and a half before the first ever English Derby the Isle of Man and the then Earl of Derby also the Lord of Mann held the first ever Manx Derby over three furlongs. This was also thirty-nine years prior to the Newmarket race, which has been proclaimed to be the oldest horse race in existence
