ITINERARY

Day One
Arrive in Dublin and travel to Bushmills Inn | Country Antrim
Bushmills Inn is a traditional, luxury four star 
hotel in the heart of 
Northern Ireland's Causeway Coast
Stay for three nights and enjoy a slower pace of life. Step back to a time steeped in charm.



Day Two
Play Castlerock
Castlerock Golf Club is set amidst rolling sand dunes, with beautiful views towards Scotland and the Isle of Islay. Its fourth hole, the Leg o’ Mutton, is a 200 yard par 3 with a railway line to the right, a burn to the left, and a raised green.

Day Three

Play Portstewart
Portstewart Golf Club is situated on Ulster’s famous Causeway Coast, with stunning views across the bay to the blue Donegal hills. The Strand course may have the best opening hole in all of golf. On this championship links, set amidst huge sandhills, every shot in the bag will be tested.



Day Four
Play Royal Portrush

Royal Portrush Golf Club, on the northernmost tip of Northern Ireland, has hosted many major championships over the years. There are brilliant holes at every turn, with fescue-covered sandhills, and formidable greenside bunkers.



Travel to Newcastle | County Down
Stay for three nights at Slieve Donard Hotel
Open for over 100 years, Slieve Donard stands in 6 acres of private gardens leading to the world famous Royal County Down Golf Club. With deluxe accommodation, luxury surroundings and excellent facilities you'll enjoy this distinctive historic property.



Day Five
Play Royal County Down
Royal County Down Golf Club is a veritable thrill ride of great golf. The course is set in dramatic dunes and sandy terrain that hugs the sea. You will find turf that is fast and hard, and be challenged by blind tee shots.



Day Six
Play Ardglass
Arglass is an eighteen hole seaside course, Par 70 with championship standard greens. The first five holes, with the Irish Sea and cliffs tight to the left should be treated with respect and anything resembling a hook will meet with disaster. The second hole is a daunting Par 3. Your tee-shot must carry a cliff and canyon and that's the easy part of the hole. While standing on the tee-box a superb view of the Mountains of Mourne should not be missed. When arriving at the course be prepared to be overwhelmed by the panoramic views of the Irish Sea and on a clear day the Isle of Man can be seen in the distance



Day Seven
Travel back to Dublin for your return to the United States.
