To say that we had some of the best links courses in the world would not be an exaggeration and we’ve bred champion golfers to match. Just ask our very own home grown Champions Darren Clarke, 2011 British Open Champion and Graeme McDowell, 2010 US Open Champion.

Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell

Irish Open, 28th June - 1st July 2012

The Irish Open will return to Causeway Coast and Glens this summer when the world-class links at Royal Portrush hosts the prestigious 2012 event.

This is famously the home terrain of World Champion Darren Clarke who won the 2011 British Open Championship. Darren's home club is the legendary Royal Portrush, whose fabulous Dunluce Course has hosted many a championship, including the British Open and, more recently, the British Seniors Open Championship. The Valley Links also at Royal Portrush, is home to Graeme McDowell, the 2010 US Open Champion.

The Causeway Coast and Glens region has more than a dozen golf courses offering links and parkland challenges to tempt golfers of all abilities and usually with green fees that won’t put you off your stroke! We also have excellent professional golf academies.

Fees may be modest by international standards, but the settings are nothing short of spectacular and the quality of the courses world class. Club house hospitality is as warm as you might expect in Ireland and you’ll find no shortage of fellow golfers to discuss the day’s play!

Be warned: You will need to book tee-times well in advance at a number of our courses.
