The Open Championship has been contested for over 160 years, but it’s only been played somewhere other than Scotland or England three times. On each occasion in 1951, 2019 and 2025, is gone to just one place…The Dunluce Links course at Royal Portrush. Opens held at Royal Portrush hit different. The dunes seem bigger, the contours wilder, the colors more intense. Portrush is visually stunning, but extremely demanding. It’s the essence of golf in the Emerald Isle.
