Golf Trips
Northern Ireland’s premium golfing speciality is links courses that have attracted world attention. Two destinations in particular stand out and the province’s top professional, Darren Clarke, speaks for many people at home and abroad when he says: “One of my favourite courses of all is the championship links at Royal Portrush. This is very close to home for me and I was fortunate to develop there." 
Royal County Down
Beneath the spectacular gaze of the Mountains of Mourne there lies the most beautiful golf course in the world. The course enjoys a magnificent stage-like setting as it stretches out along the shores of Dundrum Bay. As well as being one of the world’s most beautiful courses it is also one of the most challenging.
