Rory McIllroy, Darren Clarke, Graeme McDowell. All recent major golf champions, all proud Northern Irishmen.
This is amazing when you think about it since the country’s population is less than 1.9 million people. But it is the world famous links courses that grab your undivided attention. Royal County Down and Royal Portrush lead the charge and they need to be played. The courses are quite different from one another and yet both experiences are spectacular. Use veteran caddies as they will help you traverse the bumps and nuances of these challenging courses. Then there are other treasured links courses like Castlerock and Ardglass. Wait until you tee it up on No. 1 at Ardglass with the clubhouse/castle combination at your back and the Irish Sea lurking to your left. This will have you shaking in your boots!
Explore the scenic UNESCO World Heritage site of the Giant’s Causeway and grab a tour of the Bushmills Distillery. Golf and the country’s deep history will compel you to visit. Do it this year as Northern Ireland will continue to gain attention, especially now that an Open Championship will likely be coming to Royal Portrush in 2019.
