NORTHERN IRELAND - Causeway Coast

In geographic terms, Northern Ireland is not a huge country. But when it comes to golf, make no mistake: they’re a giant, with 90 clubs – and champions like Rory McIlroy, Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell to prove it.

Northern Ireland is the perfect mix of Links and Parkland golf courses. Home of the Golf Digest Number one Golf Course in the World, Royal County Down. And home to the host of The 148th Open, Royal Portrush.

NORTHERN IRELAND - Causeway Coast

Our Northern Ireland Tour is based at Bushmills Inn. Originally a Coaching Inn in the 1600s, this 4-star boutique hotel and restaurant is steeped in Irish history. The welcome is warm and the fire always lit. There is lots to explore from Bushmills Inn. Located only 2 miles from the Giants Causeway, the nearby world-famous Bushmills Whiskey Distillery and 2 top Northern Ireland links courses in Royal Portrush and Portstewart both within 15 minutes.

DAY 1 - ARRIVAL

• Check-In to The 4-star Bushmills Inn
• Bushmills Whiskey Distillery Tour - Granted a license to distill in 1608, Bushmills is the oldest licensed whiskey distillery in the world. The crisp waters of the River Bush cut through volcanic rock creating a whiskey you will be invited to learn and sample.

DAY 2

• Full Irish Breakfast
• Golf at Portstewart Strand Course - A championship links course which hosted the 2017 Irish Open won by Jon Rahm. Designed by Willie Park Jnr and characterised by undulating dunes, run off bunkers, rolling fairways and tricky manicured greens.
• Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge - First erected by fisherman more than 250 years ago and now a National Trust visitor attraction.

DAY 3

• Full Irish Breakfast
• Golf at Royal Portrush Dunluce Links - One of the most challenging and naturally beautiful links courses in the world. The original course was modified by Harry Colt and more recently by Mackenzie & Ebert ahead of the 148th Open Championship in 2019 won by Shane Lowry.

DAY 4

• Full Irish Breakfast
• Golf at Castlerock Mussenden Course - Awarded Ireland's "Hidden Gem" for Links Golf on the North Coast.

The Giants Causeway is made up of some 40,000 massive black basalt columns sticking out of the sea and is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The dramatic sight has inspired legends of giants striding over the sea to Scotland.

DAY 5 - DEPARTURE
