The Portrush 153rd Open, Royal

The Open is one of the largest golf tournaments in the world and returns to Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland.

The 153rd Open Championship will take place from July 13 to 20, 2025, at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland. This marks the third time the prestigious tournament has been hosted at this renowned coastal links course, following previous events in 1951 and 2019. The eyes of the world will be on Northern Ireland’s biggest ever sporting event, as The Open is contested outside Scotland and England for just the third time in the Championship’s history.

Record crowds will arrive in the seaside town of Portrush on the world-famous Causeway Coastal Route. They’ll see some of the world’s best golfers compete for the Claret Jug, the coveted trophy previously won by Northern Ireland heroes Rory McIlroy, Darren Clarke, and Fred Daly. And won by fan-favourite, Irishman Shane Lowry in 2019 at Royal Portrush Golf Club’s 148th Open.

The Open, 2019

The 148th Open Championship took place in 2019 at Royal Portrush Golf Club in Northern Ireland, marking the first time the tournament had been held at this venue since 1951.

It was won by Shane Lowry, an Irish golfer, who claimed his first Major victory. Lowry delivered an

impressive performance, finishing with a six-shot lead over Tommy Fleetwood. His victory was especially memorable for the support he received from the home crowd, with Royal Portrush offering an iconic setting for the historic event. This Open was significant not just for Lowry’s victory but also for the improvements made to Royal Portrush. The course underwent renovations, including the restoration of certain holes and the introduction of a new 17th hole.

The Open, 1951

The Open was staged outside of Britain for the first time in 1951, when the tournament was played at Royal Portrush. Max Faulkner claimed his only major championship that year, with a two-shot victory during a wet weekend in County Antrim. The flamboyant Faulkner, often dressed in bright colours, found the course to his liking, having twice been a runner-up in the Irish Open at the same venue.

Royal Portrush Golf Club

Royal Portrush is one of the world’s top 10 courses (Golf Digest, 2024) and is still the only Irish course to host The Open. It hosted The Senior Open between 1995 & 1999 and again in 2004. Then in 2012 it also hosted the Irish Open won by Jamie Donaldson. This was the first time a European

Tour event had been played in Northern Ireland, the first time since 1953 that the Irish Open had been played in Northern Ireland, and the first time a European Tour event sold out.

Founded in 1888, the legendary Royal Portrush Golf Club has two Championship Courses – the renowned Dunluce Course - named after the 13th century castle overlooking the course - and the Valley Course. Both share an impressive North Atlantic backdrop with breathtaking views of Scotland and Donegal.

Course Icons

The ‘Old’ Tom Morris course design, reworked by H.S. Colt in the 1930s, was The Open site back in 1951, in 2019 and will be again in 2025. During the entire 1951 tournament only two golfers managed to break 70 and it’s easy to see why Portrush can challenge even the most experienced golfers. Its most celebrated holes are ‘White Rock’ and ‘Calamity’. The fifth hole, ‘White Rock’ is one of the most exhilarating two–shots in golf. Over-hit the second shot, and your ball disappears into the Atlantic! The aptly named ‘Calamity’ requires total precision to carry the ball over an enormous ravine. Mis-hit this one and you could be taking your next swing from at least fifty feet below the hole.

In preparation for the 2019 event, architect Martin Ebert added new seventh and eighth holes, fashioned from land on the club’s Valley Course (ranked 82nd), to replace its weak 17th and 18th holes. That means the notorious Calamity hole, an uphill 210-yard par-3, is now the 16th instead of the 14th, and the old dogleg-right par-4 16th is now the closing hole, with a new back tee. Ebert retained Colt’s greens, considered one of the best set of putting surfaces in the world.

The overall length of the course has also increased by just under 200 yards to 7,337 yards and the number of bunkers has increased by three to 62, still leaving Royal Portrush with the fewest bunkers of any of the courses which host The Open.

The Valley Course

Following a detailed study of the opportunities to replace the 17th and 18th holes, the conclusion was that two replacement holes for the Dunluce could be forged from the area of the old 5th and 6th holes of the Valley Course. This has provided a tremendous arena for two dramatic and iconic holes which are quickly achieving world fame. Theknock-on effect was that replacement holes were required for the Valley Course. Following this, three new Valley holes have been formed with the last of them giving incredible views to the beach.

History events of Great Golf

The 148th Open Royal Portrush 2019

The Open quickly became the fastest-selling event in the Championship’s history, and with over 237,000 spectators it broke more records as the best-attended Open outside of St Andrews, the home of golf.

In an electric atmosphere at Royal Portrush, all of the players, particularly Lowry, Mcllroy, McDowell and Clarke, received phenomenal support from fans, while a number of international golfers made high-profile visits to the attractions on their doorstep along the Causeway Coast.

ISPS HANDA World Invitational

The ISPS HANDA World Invitational was the first event of its kind in Europe and took place at Galgorm Castle and Massereene Golf Club in 2019. It was transformed into a new global event for men and women professionals in 2019.

This progressive move was made possible when ISPA HANDA and long-time partners of the NI Open, Modest! Golf, engaged with organisers and bought into the long-term vision for this unique event.

This event welcomed men and women playing the same golf courses, at the same time, competing for equal prize money. Our very own Stephanie Meadow took the female title and Jack Senior won the male title. 2021 saw the event elevated to a tri-sanctioned event, the first of its kind in the Northern Hemisphere with The European Tour, LPGA Tour and Ladies European Tour joining forces. It returned again for more success in 2022 and 2023.

Dubai Duty Free Irish Open

Later in September the same venue hosted the 2020 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open. In a historic moment for

the venue, it was the first time the Ballymena golf course had hosted the island of Ireland’s national Open. The tournament welcomed exciting names, with Shane Lowry returning to Northern Ireland for the first time since his iconic win at The 148th Open at Royal Portrush. It was John Catlin, an aspiring American golfer, who took the 2020 Dubal Duty Free Irish Open title.

Northern Ireland Open Presented by Modest! Golf Management

The 2021 NI Open took place at one of Antrim’s most scenic venues at Cairndhu Golf Cub and was part of the UK and Ireland’s Clutch Pro Tour. For over a decade the NI Open has been played at Galgorm. In 2021 the NI Open moved to Cairndhu where men and women professionals had the chance to win a place at the ISPS HANDA World Invitational through this dedicated qualifying event. Kinsale’s John Murphy was a fine winner, with England’s Thalia Martin finishing as leading female. The 2022 NI Open was another exciting, elevated event with the Clutch Tour forming part of the NI Swing, which included The NI Masters at Clandeboye Golf Club the week before.

The 2024 Amgen Irish Open

The 2024 Amgen Irish Open took place from September 12 to 15 at the prestigious Royal County Down Golf Club in Newcastle, Northern Ireland. Renowned for its challenging links course set against the stunning backdrop of the Mountains of Mourne, Royal County Down provided a memorable venue for this esteemed tournament.

Local favourite Rory McIlroy led by two shots with four holes remaining, but encountered challenges on the back nine, ultimately finishing second.

Record Breaker

237,750 spectators, setting an attendance record for a Championship staged outside St Andrews.

International

Over half of the spectators came from outside of Northern Ireland.

Global Reach

Broadcast to 600 million homes worldwide with over 5400 hours of global television cover.

Economic Benefit

World Class

Royal Portrush voted Golf Digest No.8 course in the World 2019.

Your toughest opponent at Ardglass is always the Irish Sea, as it comes into play in a total of 8 holes. These are among the most picturesque and challenging holes anywhere on the island. You’ll play over rocky inlets and rugged coastlines with the sea and wind a regular hazard. Even the clubhouse is spectacular – the 15th century structure is the oldest building in the world that’s being used as a clubhouse. This is an unforgettable visit for any golfer.

Royal County Down Golf Club

This course needs little introduction. Royal County Down is the world’s number 1 golf course (Golf Digest, 2017, 2018 & 2019). Originally laid out in 1889 by ‘Old’ Tom Morris from St. Andrews, the course is set in the beautiful setting of Murlough Nature Reserve. The 7187-yard championship course features narrow ribbons of zig-zagging fairways dotted with famous ‘bearded’ bunkers. This one is a must.

Slieve Donard Resort and Spa

Right next to the world’s greatest golf course is a world-class spa resort. Slieve Donard sits in the stunning seaside town of Newcastle, where the majestic Mourne Mountains meet the Irish Sea. As soon as you get here you realise exactly why it won five prestigious awards at the 2017 Irish Hotels Awards – its original Victorian features, luxurious modern interiors and beautiful spa are an absolute treat.

Shortcross Gin Distillery Tour

If you’re a gin fan, don’t miss the Shortcross Gin Distillery Tour. Made on the Rademon Estate, this is Northern Ireland’s first premium crafted gin.

It is the most-awarded gin on the island of Ireland. You’ll soon see why, as the Shortcross experts teach you how they harvest local botanicals, distil with their copper pot still, and perfect the finished product.

Castle Ward

Northern Ireland is Game of Thrones® territory. This is where most of the world’s biggest TV show was shot, and the filming locations are a magnet for the show’s many millions of fans. Explore Castle Ward estate where many scenes were shot in Season 1. Dress like a Stark and try your hand at archery with Winterfell Tours. For the uninitiated, it’s a rare chance to uncover some of the show’s special-effect secrets, for a Game of Thrones® fan it is simply heaven.

Warrenpoint Golf Club

With the Mourne Mountains and Carlingford Lough as your backdrop, you’d be forgiven for not focusing on your swing at Warrenpoint Golf Club. It’s a gorgeous 6173-yard parkland gem set in an official Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). It’s also home to a world record - club member Jim Carvill holds the global record for the fastest ever round of golf (27 mins and 30 secs).

There are lots more golf clubs nearby, including Spa Golf Club in Ballynahinch, St Patrick’s in the historic Downpatrick and Kilkeel Golf Club with superb views of the Mourne Mountains. Newcastle also boasts some great restaurants including Brunel’s, Vanilla and Villa Vinci.

Some bright lights in our Big City

Titanic Belfast

Start your Belfast golf break with a round at Malone Golf Club, a superb championship course with a beautiful trout lake as its centrepiece. While you’re there, see if you can spot the upside down ‘V’ on the last post exiting the club. It means this estate was a ‘safehouse’ for both US and British soldiers during World War 1.

Shandon Park

This is one of the toughest parkland courses around. The course record is just six under par despite the best efforts of some of the world’s best golfers. The two-shot sixth hole is a 455yard giant, so you’ll need accuracy from the tee and a pinpoint second shot downhill to make it to the protected green.

Grand Central Hotel

Belfast’s newest luxury hotel is the perfect place to see more of Belfast. In fact, The Observatory cocktail lounge is the highest bar on the island of Ireland and gives you panoramic views of the city and beyond.

Savour Belfast

This city’s culinary scene is booming. There have never been more world-class foodie options for visitors to enjoy. From the Michelin-starred hotspots like The Muddlers Club, to local institutions like Mourne Seafood Bar, there’s something for every palate. And, of course, we know a thing or two about nightlife – just take a stroll through the bustling cobbled streets of the Cathedral Quarter and you’re guaranteed to find a watering hole to suit the most diverse tastes.

This city is one of Europe’s rising stars on the tourist scene. Visitor numbers are climbing year on year, and it’s no surprise with attractions like Titanic Belfast. The centrepiece of the blossoming Titanic Quarter, this stunning venue was voted the World’s Leading Tourist Attraction (World Travel Awards, 2016).

It’s an unmissable immersive experience that tells the story of the world’s most iconic ship on the very spot it was built.

Belvoir Park

Belvoir Park Golf Club boasts a distinguished history, having hosted The Irish Open, The Irish PGA, and The Irish Amateur Close. This stunning championship parkland course covers 163 acres of mature woodland, and is one of several Northern Irish courses designed by the master of the art, Harry S. Colt.

If you have more time in the city, make sure you check out Knock, Rockmount, and Dunmurry Golf Clubs. Off the course, visit Crumlin Road Gaol for history, Victoria Square for shopping, and The Friend at Hand Whiskey Shop and Tour for a wee dram and a dander.

Lough Erne Resort

Game of Thrones® Door, Enniskillen

West, Northern Ireland

Omagh Golf Club

This might just be the ultimate ‘stay and play’ destination for golfers. The Lough Erne Resort & Spa is a luxurious hideaway in the Fermanagh Lakelands. You’ll find stunning lakeside bars, the 3 AA Rosette Catalina Restaurant, a multi-award winning Thai spa, and two beautiful golf courses.

Faldo & Castle Hume Courses

The Faldo Course at Lough Erne Resort & Spa is one of the finest on the island of Ireland. Designed by six-time Major winner Nick Faldo, the 7167-yard par-72 takes full advantage of its 600-acre peninsula setting. Water is an everpresent hazard and the green of the 10th hole is even surrounded on three sides by the lake. The Castle Hume course is another par-72 championship track that has hosted an unprecedented 10 Ulster PGA Championships.

Erne Water Taxi

To really travel in style in these parts, you need a chauffeur-driven water taxi. It’s the best way to tour the serene Fermanagh Lakelands and island-hop at will. You can even explore Ireland’s only island town, Enniskillen, from the water.

Cuilcagh Boardwalk

Every visitor should see this. The Cuilcagh Boardwalk gives you jaw-dropping views to rival any in Ireland. The 1.6km boardwalk across the bogland of Cuilcagh Mountain is an exhilarating experience, whether you’re out for a stroll or a veteran hillwalker.

This course is famous for tough par-fours and speedy greens, so you’ll have to be on your game in Omagh. The Drumragh River is an everpresent hazard through the front nine, while the back nine takes you towards the forest and some spectacular views of West Tyrone.

Marble Arch Caves

Fermanagh is even beautiful when viewed from below. The Marble Arch Caves are a fascinating natural labyrinth of caves, rivers, winding passages, and tunnels deep beneath the earth’s surface. It’s a one-off experience that’s not to be missed, and it might be the only chance you ever get to take a subterranean boat ride!

Castlerock Golf Club

1st-class spots in our 2nd city Derry - Londonderry

Deep in the stunning Roe Valley Country Park, you’ll find one of Northern Ireland’s best golf resorts. The Roe Park Resort gives you a beautiful parkland course with spectacular views across Lough Foyle, the Inishowen Peninsula and Binevenagh Mountain. Add that to facilities that include the driving range, practice holes, indoor interactive video coaching system and much more. This is golfing heaven.

Castlerock Golf Club

Castlerock is another stunning links course - two courses, in fact - on the Causeway Coastal Route. You’ll play a par-5 that’s been described as one of the most scenic holes in Irish golf and take on the famous ‘Leg O’Mutton’, a 200-yard par-3 with a raised green, a railway line to the right, and a stream to the left.

Bishops Gate Hotel

Here’s the perfect city hideaway, somewhere packed with history but with all the contemporary comforts you’ll ever need. This former Victorian clubhouse has actually hosted Winston Churchill and W.B. Yeats. But today, it’s a chic hotel blending classic and contemporary in its Wig Champagne Bar and The Gown Restaurant.

Flavours of the city

As you would expect from one of Europe’s youngest cities, the social and culinary scenes here are lively, adventurous and cool.

Some of the best new spots include the Walled City Brewery, which was named the Best Gastro Pub in Ireland (Irish Restaurant Awards 2017), The Shipquay Restaurant, another example of the ‘classic with a contemporary twist’ vibe that Derry-Londonderry has mastered, and Peadar O’Donnell’s, the home of live traditional music in the city.

City Walls

A tour of Derry-Londonderry’s 400-year-old city walls is an absolute must for every visitor. These 17th century fortifications have a fascinating history and make this the last completely walled city in Ireland and one of the finest examples in Europe. Don’t miss your chance to explore them and meet ‘Roaring Meg’, the ear-splitting cannon used during the 1641 Siege.

Foyle Golf Club

Foyle International Golf Centre gives you access to a championship standard par-71 course on the outskirts of Northern Ireland’s second city. And the course attracts some pretty famous visitors – on 21st May 1932, after a gruelling 15hour flight, Amelia Earhart had an emergency landing on what is now the 6th green!
