A special place to mention is the Royal Portrush Golf Club. We are delighted that an Irish man Shane Lowry won last year’s Open 2019, Portrush last hosted the Open in 1951. The now famous golf course is found in the fishing village of Portrush, in County Antrim in Ireland. It was formed in 1888 it was only a 9-hole course, until 1889 when it was extended to the 18-course (Valley Course). Then in 1929 another 18-hole course (Dunluce Course) was added by the renowned architect, Harry Colt. Everything you can expect to see on an Irish golf trip.
