The only venue to host The Open Championship (1951 and 2019) outside of mainland UK, the Dunluce Links is regarded as one of the best courses in the world.

The classic links golf course at Castlerock was made into an 18 hole layout by the famous Scottish club maker Ben Sayers in 1908 before Harry Colt made alterations to the course in 1925.
Strand Course
The Strand Course at Portstewart is regularly ranked third best course in Northern Ireland behind Royal County Down and Royal Portrush. Hosted the European Tour’s Irish Open in 2017.
Championship Links
Often ranked as the number one course in the world, the Championship Links at Royal County Down is a magnificent test of golf in the most beautiful of links settings.

Valley Course
Although the second course at Royal Portrush, The Valley is a great links layout in its own right. Shorter and more forgiving than the Dunluce and a wonderful warm-up course.

A shorter sister course to the impressive Strand at Portstewart Goff Club, The Riverside opened in 2003 and includes beautiful holes that meander along the banks of the River Bann.
Portmarnock Old Golf Course
Consistently ranked amongst the best courses in the British Isles, Portmarnock Old Course has hosted multiple Irish Opens and the Walker Cup. A pure and traditional links gem close to Dublin.
