About the Course

Royal Portrush's Dunluce Links sits on one of the most spectacular stretches of coastline in the British Isles. Designed by H.S. Colt in 1929, the course winds through towering sand dunes with views of the Giant's Causeway and the Antrim hills. The club hosted the first Open Championship outside Great Britain in 1951, and returned in 2019 when Shane Lowry claimed the Claret Jug in front of a rapturous home crowd. The experience of playing Dunluce on a clear day is unforgettable.
