Description

The original architect was the famed Harry Colt who produced breath taking golfing landscape beside the Atlantic Ocean on the North Coast of Northern Ireland. The Links is named after the nearby ruins of the medieval Dunluce Castle located on the edge of a basalt outcropping overlooking the sea between Portrush and Portballintrae. Located only a few kilometers from Portrush, close to the Bushmills distillery and to the Giant's Causeway, open to public in 1888, this fabulous golf course went through several changes, including the recent creation of 2 new golf holes, especially created for the 2019 Open Championship played here.

Signature Hole

The Dunluce Links is home to one of the most stunning par fours in golf, the 382 yard 5th hole. A dogleg hole played from an elevated tee towards the ocean, it rewards the daring shot across a wide expanse of rough. Be careful though, as an overly long approach shot will end up on the sand of the White Rocks beach which lies just beyond the rear of the green. Make sure and take a moment to enjoy the stunning views from the green towards the 15th Century Dunluce castle and the surfers braving the swells below.

Wegolf Insider Tip

Wegolf played it for the first time in August 2014 in demanding conditions and we can still say that it was an unforgettable experience, since we arrived at the club house. It is worth walking every meter and admiring the amount of golf that has passed through the Dunluce Links. It is a fair but very demanding course, especially from the tee and in the final holes where every mistake is very expensive. The 14th hole is one of the most dramatic par 3 holes a golfer can face.

The good, The Bad

A very traditional british club. A fabulous golf course. Very kind staff. An experience every golfer would dream of.
Now that this course is back again in the "Open Rota", everyone wants to play it and it´s difficult to get a tee time.
