Royal Portrush Golf Club is home to one of the best and most challenging links golf courses in the world, the Dunluce Links, and the hidden gem, the Valley Links.

The famed Royal Portrush Golf Club is situated on the beautiful North Antrim Causeway coast, with magnificent views in all directions. It is just outside the town of Portrush approximately 6 miles north of Coleraine and 63 miles north-west of Belfast City.

In July 2019 the Dunluce Links was the host venue for the 2019 Open Championship won by Ireland’s Shane Lowry.

The Dunluce Links

The Dunluce Links at Royal Portrush Golf Club ranks among the world’s greatest courses. Thick rough and testing greens, combined with the unpredictable weather of the roaring North Atlantic make this course an admirable test for even the most seasoned golfer. The course is routed through rugged links land, and constantly changes in both direction and elevation, whilst all the time providing some of the most awe-inspiring scenery to be found in Ireland.

The Valley Course

The Valley Course lies between the East Strand and the Dunluce golf course. As its name suggests, the course is situated between the huge sand hills immediately along the Atlantic shore and the higher ground on which the Championship course is laid out. The Valley has more than its fair share of the humps, hollows and undulations to be found on any links worthy of the name. This 6,304-yard, par 70 course is a very fine test of links golf, with the greens, in particular, every bit as well tended as on the Dunluce Course.

Voted No.1 golf course in the world by Golf Digest, Royal County Down Golf Club, is located north of the seaside town of Newcastle on the east coast of Ireland.

Royal County Down Golf Club is situated overlooking Dundrum Bay, in the shadow of the Mourne Mountains 30 miles south of Belfast.

One of the oldest golf clubs in Ireland, Royal County Down Golf Club has 36 holes. First is the Championship Course measuring 7,037 yards Par 71 with a standard scratch of 75 from the blue tees. The Championship course is a links course that is renowned worldwide as one of the finest links tests in the world. The second is the somewhat shorter Annesley Links at 4,708 yards Par-66.

The first nine holes are ranked by many as the finest opening nine anywhere. The constantly undulating layout will challenge every part of your game with “tightish” fairways, many grassy-topped pot bunkers and tricky greens – every hole is a classic links test.

Things to do

Royal Portrush is located less than 6 miles from the village of Bushmills. Here you will find the Bushmills Distillery, Dunluce Castle and, a few miles further east, The Giant’s Causeway.

The Giant’s Causeway is one of Ireland’s most beautiful natural attractions. The Causeway is a formation of interlocking basalts which was created following a volcanic eruption that took place 60 million years ago. The Causeway’s origins are detailed in Irish folklore through the story of the giant Finn MacCool. Tours of the Causeway are available all year round.

Royal Portrush Golf Club is located on the Causeway Costal Route. This 120-mile drive is peppered with unique attractions and idyllic towns and villages all set against some of the world’s most dramatic and stunning scenery. A spectacular road trip that must be witnessed to be believed.
