<Day 2 ~ Royal Portrush Golf Club

Golf on Royal Portrush - The Valley (tbc). The course is laid out in a marvellous span of land surrounded by golden sands on two sides and the Antrim Coast on the other side. New holes constructed to accommodate changes on the Dunluce for the Open Championship, have elevated the stature of the Valley. It starts gently for holes 1-4, before it really gets going with wonderful holes threading their way through the Dunes. Conditions are as good as the Dunluce and this is no pushover, a proper and enoyable test of links golf awaits.

<Day 2 5 nights ~ Dunluce Lodge

Your Itinerary

Situated alongside the fourth fairway at the world famous Royal Portrush Golf Club, Dunluce Lodge is the region’s only 5-star accommodations. Guests will be provided with an unparalleled experience amidst some of the most beautiful scenery that Northern Ireland’s Causeway Coast has to offer. Accommodations feature 35 impressive suites steeped in luxury. An indulgent spa, with state of the art fitness and facilities, the perfect place to rejuvenate. Stunning landscaped gardens and outdoor terraces, with a putting green and cottage garden. The Lodge's restaurant and bar will provide an excellent culinary experience using the finest locally sourced ingredients and feature a la carte menu, tasting menus and sharing platters.

<Day 3 ~ Castlerock Golf Club

Play today at Castlerock (tbc). Castlerock is the lesser known of three links in the area lead by Royal Portrush and Portstewart but by no measure a pushover. A round on this 6,767 yard par 73 within several strokes of your handicap is well played. Founded with 9 holes in 1901, extended to 18 by Ben Sayers in 1908, then modified by Harry Colt in 1925, then again by Martin Hawtree in 2017, the club has done an admirable job of evolving with the game. There are no cupcakes here. The club’s signature hole is “Leg O’Mutton, a 200-yard par 3 played to an elevated green with the railway right and a burn left. The nine hole course is well worth a turn particularly for the par 5 fifth considered to be one of the most scenic in Irish golf.

<Day 4 ~ Ballyliffin Golf Club

Today play Ballyliffin - Glashedy Links (tbc). This new course opened in the summer of 1995 and offers a modern championship test that is considered by many to be the best new links course built this century. Ballyliffin is Ireland's most northerly golf club and is often referred to as ''the Dornoch of Ireland''. Please note a very limited supply of golf carts are available for hire. Certain restrictions may apply, please advise your Golf Travel Specialist.

<Day 5 ~ Portstewart Golf Club

Today play Portstewart - Strand Course (tbc). Possibly, indeed probably, The Strand Course at Portstewart has always been inspired by her renowned neighbors Royal County Down and Royal Portrush to join the ranks of Northern Ireland’s leading layouts. The original course opened in 1908, was largely reinvented by the great Willie Park in the early 1920’s, then updated again in the 1980s. Next after a healthy investment to acquire a range of massive, untouched sand dunes called “Thistly Hollow”, seven outstanding new holes were constructed that make for an opening nine considered one of the best in links golf. Please note a very limited supply of golf carts are available for hire. Certain restrictions may apply, please advise your Golf Travel Specialist.

<Day 6 ~ Royal Portrush Golf Club

Golf on Royal Portrush - Dunluce Links (tbc). Northern Ireland’s Royal Portrush (Est 1888) is routinely ranked among the World Top 15 and never less than fifth among the great clubs of the UK and Ireland. It is the only club outside of Great Britain to host The Open which it has done twice; in 1951 and 2019. Harry Colt is largely responsible for the current layout which opened in 1932. He chose the high ground on magnificent dunes land the club had acquired for two courses that was full of deep valleys, long ridges and large plateaus. His achievement here is how the holes follow the sand formations and the greens which are some of the most cleverly conceived in golf. Changes were made in advance of The 148th Open that included two new holes, the exceptional 7th and 8th, which turned the old 17th and 18th into a staging ground for the championship.

Often called the “Dornoch of Ireland” because of its location on the country’s extreme northern tip, this links poses a challenge that makes golfers glad they travelled the extra miles. Fantastic panoramic views of countryside and coastline are available throughout the property, Glashedy Rock sits just offshore and it’s easy to see why Glashedy has earned the reputation as Ireland’s hidden gem. Ruddy, one of the co-architects, treated this as his masterpiece throughout the years, often returning to polish and enhance an aspect.
