Royal Portrush and the Dunluce Links Legacy

First founded in 1860, The Open has rotated through classic UK courses—St Andrews, Royal Troon, Royal Birkdale—and now returns to Royal Portrush for its 153rd edition from July 17–20, 2025. Located in County Antrim, this is the only host venue outside mainland Britain to hold the title, its dramatic dunes and coastal winds shaping memorable finishes.

Royal Portrush first hosted The Open in 1951, but the energy sparks to life most spectacularly in 2019, when Shane Lowry captured triumph before a sold-out home crowd . Now, the 7,381-yard Dunluce Links is set to test this next generation of champions—its bunkers, rough, and famous “Calamity Corner” demanding precision and grit.
