Here's what a few notable golfers and golf commentators said about
Royal Portrush Golf Club ....
European Ryder Cup team member, multiple winner on USPGA
and European Tours
"I am very proud indeed to be an Honorary member of Royal Portrush
and I always enjoy playing the course when I'm at home. The pleasure
of the course is greatly enhanced by its fantastic natural setting.
No matter how hard you concentrate on your game, you just have to
take time to enjoy the spectacle - and what a spectacle it is!
The view from the famous 14th tee at Royal Portrush
will stand comparison with some of the finest around the world.
Royal Portrush is now rated to be in the top 12 golf courses in
the world and should indeed be number one."
2001 Walker Cup team winner, winner of 2002 Scandinavian
Masters and 2004 Telecom Italia Open
"I have been fortunate in my career to play golf on some of
the best, the most exciting and the most scenic courses of the world
- but few of them can boast the fabulous natural setting enjoyed
by our own North Coast golf courses. I admit to being completely
biased but I reckon there is little to compare with the dramatic
sea views from the courses at Royal Portrush."
10 Major Championship victories and multiple wins on the
USPGA and European Tours
"I would love to see a British Open round here one day. Royal
Portrush is a far better course than Troon. This is one of the real
great Open courses."
2003 Walker Cup winning Captain, British Amateur champion,
13-times wnner of Irish Open Amateurs Championships
"Royal Portrush is a very special place for me, having won
the North of Ireland Amateur Championship there five times."

and interesting courses I have ever played. "

If you can't enjoy golf in these conditions, you won't enjoy playing
anywhere."
1994 & 1997 U.S. Open Championships, 2002 British Open
Championship plus multiple International Tour victories
"It's been wonderful ... I love playing links golf. It's totally
different to playing in the States. I enjoy manufacturing shots,
making the ball run instead of hitting everything in the air."
South African multiple Tour winner
"Royal Portrush is one of the great courses of the world."
"Royal Portrush is a must-play stopover for golfers eager to
experience one of the toughest golf challenges there is."
His company sponsors both the PGA and Senior PGA Tours and
the senior circuit's new one-million-dollar Charles Schwab Cup.
"Each year I take a trip to Europe to play their great courses.
So much history. My favorites are Muirfield in Scotland and Royal
Portrush in Northern Ireland.
Golf writer -Travel & Golf Liesure Magazine
"It is impossible to overstate the grandeur and the challenge
of Royal Portrush. If I had to play only one golf course for the
rest of my life, this would be it. "

of Cypress Point, Pebble Beach and Crystal Downs."
