I Recommend This Course
Royal Portrush GC - Valley Links Course
Unfortunately the Valley Links Course will always play in the shadows of the better known bright light at Portrush, the Dunluce Links. The Valley plays a bit shorter and a bit easier but the accomplishment of completing a good round on the Valley Course is just as satisfying. The elevation changes, rolling fairways set amongst dunes with native fescues, gorse brush, fast rolling greens, strategic bunkering and a steady breeze all make for ideal links conditions. Enthusiastic members, welcoming staff, good Guinness, brilliant golf.
