Moments to remember

Who could forget Shane Lowry’s victorious walk up the 18th fairway as he moved to claim the 2019 Open in his homeland?

Or the wonderful celebrations afterwards in the pubs and bars?

Royal Portrush Golf Club is nestled in a triangle of giant sandhills which present magnificent views in all directions — the hills of Donegal in the west, the Isle of Islay and Southern Hebrides in the north, with the iconic Giant’s Causeway and the Skerries in the east. The courses are overlooked by the ruins of the 13th century, Dunluce Castle and this gives its name to Royal Portrush’s famous Dunluce Links, one of the most challenging golf courses in the world.

In 2025, Royal Portrush was bestowed the honour of hosting the Open Championship for the second time in just 6 years. A tribute to the course, the area and its welcome.
