Causeway CoastGolfCourses

Marine & Lawn Portrush plays neighbour to Royal Portrush Golf Club, a course that has shaped the game since 1888 and hosted The Open Championship three times, most recently in 2025. The Causeway Coast has one of the finest concentrations of links golf anywhere in the world, and the courses surrounding Portrush range from celebrated championship layouts to quieter clubs that reward those who seek them out.


Royal Portrush Golf Club

Marine & Lawn Portrush’s nearest neighbour and one of the most prestigious courses in the world. The Dunluce Links, named after the 13th-century castle ruins that tower over the course, has hosted The Open Championship three times and remains one of the great tests in championship golf. Views stretch from the hills of Donegal to the Giant's Causeway.


Portstewart Golf Club

Home to three links courses, with the Championship Strand Course among the finest on the Causeway Coast. The 2017 Irish Open was played here, and winner Jon Rahm called it one of the most beautiful courses he had ever seen.


Bushfoot Golf Club

An 18-hole par 70 course in Bushmills, set against some of the region's most recognisable landmarks. The Giant's Causeway and Carrick-a-Rede are both visible from the course.


Ballycastle Golf Club

Founded in 1890, Ballycastle sits yards from the Causeway Coast shoreline and offers a varied experience across its layout, moving from parkland holes to wild links terrain. Views from the seaside hills take in Fair Head, Rathlin Island, and on clear days, the Mull of Kintyre and the western isles of Scotland.


Castlerock Golf Club

Set among rolling dunes on the North Coast and previously awarded Ireland's Hidden Gem for Links Golf. The River Bann flows out to the Atlantic nearby, with views across to Donegal and, on bright days, the Isle of Islay.


Cushendall Golf Club

A nine-hole course at the heart of the Glens of Antrim, founded in 1937. The River Dall runs through the course on its way to the Sea of Moyle, giving the layout a character that sets it apart from the coastal links nearby.


Gracehill Golf Club

A parkland course outside the village of Stranocum, with American-style water hazards, heathland sections, and mature woodland creating a challenge that is unlike anything else on the Causeway Coast.


Kilrea Golf Club

Founded in 1919, Kilrea is one of the driest courses in the area, with well-drained fairways that keep it open when others close to the Irish weather. Extended to 5,672 yards, it plays longer than a typical nine-hole layout, with tight fairways and small greens that demand accuracy off the tee.


Rosapenna

Home to the Old Tom Morris Links, Sandy Hills Links, and St Patrick's Links, Rosapenna is one of Ireland's premier golf destinations. Set along Donegal's dramatic Atlantic coastline, it's well worth the journey for golfers seeking an unforgettable day on the links.


Manor Golf Club

A nine-hole course covering over 4,000 yards, opened in 1991. A large balcony overlooking the course and on-site lake makes it a good stop on a longer golf day.


Roe Park Resort Golf Club

An 18-hole par-70 parkland course in the Roe Valley, designed by Marc Westenberg, with mature trees, water features, and rolling countryside throughout.
