Royal Portrush Golf Club is situated on the beautiful North Antrim Causeway coast, overlooked by the ruins of 13th century Dunluce Castle, which gives its name to the club’s famous course.
Thick rough and tricky greens combine with the Atlantic breeze to make this a true test of a golfer’s skill. Signature hole is the 411-yard par four 5th which doglegs from an elevated tee towards the ocean.
Voted number 12 in the world by Golf Magazine, it is the only club in Ireland to have staged the Open and has held the Seniors British Open on several occasions. Famous members at the club include Padraig Harrington, Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell.
The town of Portrush, County Antrim, is situated 60 miles north-west of Belfast and can be reached within one hours drive from Belfast International Airport and just ninety minutes from the ferry ports of Belfast and Larne. |
