Royal Portrush Golf Club is a private golf club in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. The 36-hole club has two links courses, the Dunluce Links (the championship course) and the Valley Links. The former is one of the courses on the Open championship rota and will next host the tournament in 2019.
In 1951, Royal Portrush hosted The Open Championship, the oldest of golf's major championships; the first Open not held on the island of Great Britain. The Open will return to Portrush in 2019, and will host twice more by 2040.[1] It also hosted the Irish Open in 2012, the first in Northern Ireland since 1953.[2]
The Dunluce Links course is considered to be one of the best courses in the world. It was ranked fourth by Golf World in their list of "The 100 greatest courses in the British Isles" in November 1996. Golf Magazine ranked it twelfth in their list of the Top 100 Courses in the World, and Golf Digest ranked it as the fourth best course outside the United States in 2007.[3]

Darren Clarke has the honour of teeing off birdies the first and promptly drives into a bunker at the second.
Personal view think Sky do a great job with this you get to see the first tee shot at 6.35am
