Played Royal Portrush October 2008 with one of their Professionals David Jones. After playing this course you're left in no doubt as to why this course is rated as one of the best in the world. The views are sensational and their fairways are better than most greens i have played on. Can't decide which is better though, County Down or Portrush?

We had the pleasure of playing the Dunluce course in September 2008 as part of a four-day links pilgramage. The course was in magnificent condition and represents one of the toughest tests I have faced for a long time, even with hardly a breath of wind! Everything you will have read about this wonderful club is true - treat yourself and have a visit to remember!

Had the opportunity of playing the course, and had a great time. the winds, the rough, the greens, the bunkers, and the views were outstanding. Play this course at least once in your lifetime, and you will always remember the Royal Potrush.

I have been priveleged to play many fine Golf Courses in my 63 years, but the experience of the Dunluce Links was perhaps the most memorable Golfing Experience at the very top of the list.
My 17 friends and myself enjoyed unseasonably wonderful weather on the 8th May, which added to the enjoyment.
Your GreenStaff had done a fabulous job of preparing the course, and I plan to return next May with 7 other friends whom I am sure will take away equally good memories of a fabulous Golf Course.

Had the great priviledge of playing both the Valley and Dunluce courses over 2 visits to a good friend currently living in Ballymena.(Thanks to Tom Morrison for organising) Weather played along but the course still won on both days! Remains rated in my top 5 courses played world-wide.

I remember in Jan./Feb. 1944 when we played The Royal. We were members of the U.S. 507th Parachute Inf. Regt. encamped in downtown Portrush prior to D-Day.
A few short years ago I came back to dedicate the 507 PIR Memorial set just west of you club house.
A fine luncheon and hospitality par excellence.

I recall those wonderful days in July when the North of Ireland Championships had players from far and wide on every fairway of both Dunluce and Valley Courses. Magnificent memories and sunny days (although maybe not every day!).

my favorite course of all time, even with the wind blowing 30 mph and lots of rain.

I'm looking forward to playing Royal Portrush later this year. It sure seems an awesome challenge. Thanks for the walkthrough gallery - very unusual but great idea - I can't wait to come and tee up.

Played last August- Recollection was triggered to think about it when Padrig Harrington said it was his favorite course in the world today at the LA Open

Played the Royal course yesterday and may I say that it was an absolute treat to play such a wonderful course. Even on a sunnny but cool winters day the course was in magnificent condition and is a true challenge of golf. Thanks to Leo Mullan, our host for such a fantastic day and we look forward to coming back next year. Ryan, Mark and Alistair

Well the weather was OK on the 9th of September, but playing your terrific course without the aid off a caddie, and with no yardage (or meter) markers on the fairways made for a difficult day. My oversight was not purchasing the guide book at the pro shop..

We played the Dunclue Course in the morning 21st august and in the afternoon the Valley. We liked both courses very much. We found the Dunclue course most demanding. It was a very nice day at Portrush.

Long grass is an indifferent form of hazard...brute force is the is the chief requisite in tackling a shot out of long grass, and such shots are most exhausting and monotonous if repeated at frequent intervals."

Please cut the rough back on my golf course.

After playing 7 other courses in Northern Ireland, we have voted this the most difficult. Beautiful - but an extremely tough track.

I grew up in Portrush but first played the Dunluce in 2004, to celebrate my 60th birthday. It was enthralling and also nostalgic. From the eighth green I could see the caves I used to play in as a child. Am returning again in three weeks time, now a much improved golfer. Don't expect to beat the course and would gladly settle for a draw. Thanks to John Allen for his warm hospitality.

We played Royal Portrush on 9/10/2001 and it was the highlight of my golfing life. Nothing is better than golf in Ireland!

I've been playing golf for 40 years and have always dreamed of playing in Ireland. This summer (mid-June) three friends and I are on our way! Can't wait!
