Set on the spectacular North Antrim coast, the Dunluce Links at Royal Portrush Golf Club sets the standard for true Links golf courses. Consistently ranked among the top dozen courses in the world, it’s challenging but fair layout measures just under 7200 yards from the Championship tees. Royal Portrush Golf Club recently hosted the 2012 Irish Open on the European Tour and remains the only course outside of Scotland or England to have hosted the Open Championship which it did back in 1951 although there is much speculation that the Open will make a return to Royal Portrush Golf Club in the not too distant future.
