Royal Portrush Golf Club

“Wanted to see the high ranked courses in the world. It is a very question and beautiful township. The staff was very welcoming. Winds were breezy when we yes off, blustery and gusting by the time we finished. Great courses... Well laid out. Wonderful views, some blind shots and, yes, the fescue is to be avoided. Had the BEST caddie! Confirmed my thoughts, have me enough information to make a decision--might have done better is she not dinner of the shots 😂. So glad I had the opportunity to be there and experience the people and the place.”

“Had a great time at The Open here. Impressive how they just lift and shift all the branding from one place to another so the look and feel is consistent. Everything fine except the Saturday night shuttle bus experience which was a disaster. We waited over an hour for a bus but there were literally thousands still queuing at that point (8pm).”

“As a first time attending the Open, it was an Amazing experience and to top it all the weather was fabulous. A few tips, be prepared for crowds, long walks to get to different services within the visitor area and queues for everything!!For example, at the merchandise shop, I queued for 1hour to get inside…then items had run out but I did manage to get an umbrella which I wanted ( as the smaller shops around the Venus/ course had run out… ) then another long queue at the check out!! All in all that took me 1.5hrs! There is no avoiding long waits to access all the stands to view the golf. The reserved seats were left empty. Lastly, on arrival at the entry gate.. we waited 1.5hrs to get in!!! Again I think the organisers need to improve this for future events. It’s not for the faint hearted and so planning how you spend your time and navigating around the course to watch the players is crucial… but remember to embrace every moment and enjoy the experience”
