Northern Ireland is a small country…..but a big player in the world of golf. Not only do we have world class professional golfers in Darren Clarke and Graeme McDowell, this northern region of Ireland has the 2 top-ranked golf courses in Ireland, Royal Co Down and Royal Portrush.
Our links courses attract world attention and have played host to some of the top tournaments, both at professional and amateur level. This has brought television coverage putting Northern Ireland on the international golf map and raising the profile of the NI golf product. As a golfing destination, Northern Ireland won the ‘Best Established Golf Destination' award in 2001 from the International Association of Golf Tour Operators, an accolade acknowledging the quality, service and facilities of golf in Northern Ireland.
