Description

Dates: 08th – 15th August 2026

 

The most popular request we receive for an Irish Golf Vacation course is that of Royal County Down – Championship Links, combined with (currently) the only Open Championship Venue in Ireland, at Royal Portrush GC – Dunluce Links, which hosted a fantastic events in 2019 won by Irishman Shane Lowry and again in 2025, by World Number 1, Scottie Scheffler.

 

The major courses are complimented by Ballyliffin Old & Glashedy Links, Portstewart Golf Club – Strand Course and County Louth GC at Baltray making it 5 venues which have hosted The Irish Open on The European Tour/DP World Tour. The final addition to this proposed itinerary is Arglass Golf Club, with a medieval style clubhouse and cannons on the 1st tee, this links course just along the coast from Royal County Down certainly competes with the others for overall experience and challenge.

 

Accommodation: Staying in a luxury Private House for 4 Nights, whilst in Portrush with stunning views over The Dunluce Links at Royal Portrush GC. The second location is the iconic red bricked, Slieve Donard Hotel & Spa for 3 Nights, B&B Basis at Newcastle, County Down.

 

Transport: You will have sole use of SAFG luxury Mercedes Vehicles and experienced drivers throughout your stay so to cater for Golf, Airport, Dining & Sightseeing Activities.

 

NonGolfing Partners: If the group are looking to add partners to trip we would be able to arrange sightseeing and other activities whilst the group golfs.
