Portrush is a holiday seaside town, with a range of attractions including Bushmills Distillery and Kelly’s Nightclub, Waterworld and Barry’s Amusements for children.

Waterworld Established as one of the country's major visitor attractions since it opened in 1986. Activities include a water slide, water cannons and air bubble loungers. Afternoon entertainment and top class evening shows are organized to help all the family to have fun.

Barry’s Amusements Established for over 50 years, this is the largest amusement park in Ireland with the very latest rides for indoor and outdoor entertainment. Adjacent 'Kiddieland' offers small rides for young children.

The Skerries A chain of rocky, grass covered islands lying about two miles off the coast. During the last war, there was a plan to join the islands to Ramore Head in Portrush to make the largest harbour in the world! There are boat trips around the islands from the harbour.

The Cliff Path This follows the splendid coast from Portrush to Portstewart rising from sea level to the clifftops. It is part of the famous Ulster Way.

Portrush Dunluce

Par: 72 Length: 6441 yards Course designer: Harry Colt Venue: British Open, Seniors British Open

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.

Castlerock

Par: 73 Length: 6713 yards Course designer: Ben Sayers

Castlerock is a fabulous links course set among rolling sand dunes. The course is wonderfully situated on the banks of the river Bann, with eye-catching views of Donegal and, on a clear day, towards Scotland and the Island of Islay. An ideal retreat in which to play golf. The Championship Mussenden Course is best-known for the fourth hole, called the Leg o‘ Mutton, a 200 yard par-3 with a railway line to the right, a stream to the left, and a raised green. Good luck!

Portstewart

Par: 72 Length: 6779 yards Course designer: Willie Park, Des Giffin

The Strand course at Portstewart opened in 1992, presenting a true test of golf set amid towering sand dunes with memorable views of the Donegal hills, rolling Atlantic and the tranquil estuary of the River Bann. The Old Course at Portstewart is a par-64 and also worth a game.

Portrush Valley

Par: 70 Length: 6270 yards Course designer: Harry Colt

regarded as the championship links, but the slightly shorter Valley Course, or “Wee Course” as it is affectionately known, also represents a serious test of links golf. The Portrush Valley Course lies between the East Strand and the Dunluce Course. The holes here are almost all laid out through sand dunes, with very small greens, pot bunkers and tight driving holes. The key to playing this course is to take it a little more seriously than its “Wee Course” nickname might suggest.
