From Castlerock's Mussenden Course — routing along the River Bann estuary beneath a clifftop eighteenth-century temple designed by Michael Shanahan — to Ballyliffin's Glashedy Links, co-designed by Pat Ruddy and consistently rated among the top links tests in Donegal, this four-round stay-and-play circuit across the Causeway Coast draws on courses that reward both precision and patience in equal measure.
Dunluce Lodge in Portrush anchors the stay with all-suite accommodation, its Portrush Suites oriented directly over the Royal Portrush Championship fairways with the North Atlantic as the horizon beyond, while the on-site spa and dedicated club storage ensure the rhythm between rounds is as considered as the itinerary itself.
County Antrim's coastline stretches in both directions from the property — east toward the basalt columns of the Giant's Causeway, west into the dune ridges and estuary flats that define this stretch of northern Irish links terrain — with April and May extending the daylight long enough to hold the Atlantic light well into evening.
