First time playing golf out of North America. Itinerary is as follows: 

 

day 1: arrive in Belfast and drive to Rosapenna 

day 2: St. Patrick’s Links/ Sandy Hills

day 3: St. Patrick’s Links/ Old Tom Morris

day 4: Ballyliffin Glashedy (drive to Portrush)

day 5: Portstewart Strand/ Castlerock Bann

day 6: Royal Portrush 

day 7: Royal Portrush

day 8: Depart Belfast 

 

will take any helpful advice, but typical questions. Are caddies necessary? Any can’t miss restaurants? Am I missing anything?

Great call on Castlerock Bann.


If it’s decent weather play Otway on the way to Rosapenna. It’s a small, quirky 9 holer in a lovely spot with some excellent sporty holes.

 

After a game at Portrush play Bushfoot. Another lovely 9 holer.

Very strong lineup! However, you’re missing one of the greatest courses in the world in Royal County Down. I would add that on Day 3 or Day 7 and drop the second rounds at St. Pat’s/OTM.

Yes, plenty of reasons to go back but RCD will be atop the list! 

When you do go back for RCD, make sure you play Ardglass while you’re there. Some of the best starting holes in links golf anywhere in the world.

I don't think Royal Portrush is allowing visitor play in October any more, and they may have cut it from the contiguous Valley Links as well.

We already have times for early October booked and paid for, so I hope it’s open for visitors.
