Golf: Royal County Down
Royal County Down
Royal County Down is located in one of
the world’s most naturally beautiful links
settings in the Murlough Nature Reserve.
Against the magnificent backdrop of the
Mountains of Mourne, it provides a
different vista from virtually every hole.
The narrowest ribbons of fairways thread
their way through impressive sand
dunes. The fairways are surrounded by
purple heather and golden gorse, so
beautiful but so punishing for any who
may stray from the path. The ‘bearded’ bunkers are world famous and feature overhanging
lips of marram, red fescue and heather. The greens are fast and many are domed, rejecting
any shot lacking conviction. This is a true test of any player’s command of the traditional
bump and run, the preferred way to play any links.
Day 2 contd../
Depart County Down after your round of golf and continue onto Bushmills, Co Antrim (2
hours)
Overnight Busmills Inn Hotel 4*

Golf: Royal Portrush : Dunluce
Course
Royal Portrush : Dunluce Course
The Dunluce Links at Royal Portrush Golf Club
ranks amongst the world’s greatest courses.
Unimaginable rough and testing greens,
combined with the unpredictable weather of
the roaring North Atlantic make this course
an admirable test for even the most seasoned golfer. The 6867 yard course, which has been
extended to just under 7200 yards, is routed through rugged links land, and constantly
changes in both direction and elevation, whilst providing some of the most awe-inspiring
scenery to be found in Ireland.

Golf: Portstewart
Transport: Car Hire
Royal Portstewart : Strand Course
The Strand course is a must for golfers looking to
experience true Links Golf in Ireland. Huge dunes are
complemented by stunning views across the bay to
the Donegal hills. Every shot in the bag will be tested!
This is a true links course with fast greens in excellent
condition all the year round. Portstewart played host
as a qualifying venue in the 1951 British Open and has held all the major amateur national
Championships. It is an uncontested opinion that Portstewart has the best opening hole in
Irish Golf.
Overnight at The Bushmills Inn Hotel 4*
Day 6 – Friday
Golf: Castlerock
Transport: Car Hire
Castlerock
Situated on the Causeway Coast and only a 20
minute drive from both Royal Portrush and Royal
Portstewart, Castlerock Golf Club is a classic Links
Course set amidst towering dunes. Founded in
April 1901, Castlerock is rated as one of Ireland’s
finest links courses and will test every department of your game. The 200 yard par three
signature 4th hole, called "Leg o' Mutton", requires a tee shot struck over a burn, with a
railway track lurking to the right. Great courses offer great closing holes and the short par
four 18th at Castlerock is no different. Even with a good drive on this slight dogleg, due to
the contours of the fairway, you are often left with a relatively blind approach to a tricky
plateau green.
