World-Class Layouts Include Royal Portrush, Royal County Down, Portmarnock, Old Head, Royal Troon
(DUBLIN, Ireland) – Carr Golf – Ireland, England and Scotland’s premier provider of unforgettable golf experiences – announces extraordinary late summer golf itineraries are now available including play on world-class courses including Royal Portrush, Royal County Down, Portmarnock, Old Head and Royal Troon.
The long days of summer are the perfect time to experience the natural wonders of the Emerald Isle. Carr Golf supplies unrivaled customer care for all group sizes with luxury accommodations, transportation, sightseeing, fine dining, caddies and anything else needed for stress-free, extraordinary golf vacations. Below are Carr Golf’s “must plays” for the summer months.
As the 148th Open Championship returns to Northern Ireland’s Royal Portrush Golf Club in July for the first time in 68 years, experience the excitement of teeing it up just days after this historic event concludes.
A two-hour drive from Royal Portrush is Golf Digest’s No. 1 rated course in the world, Royal County Down. Set against Northern Ireland’s tallest mountain, Slieve Donard, Old Tom Morris’ masterful layout is known for its “bearded” bunkers, red fescue and lively heather. Royal County Down is as challenging as it is stunningly majestic.
A popular stay-and-play location on the “Velvet Strand” of Ireland’s scenic eastern shoreline just north of Dublin, Portmarnock Hotel & Golf Links caters to discerning golf travelers. Once the home of the Jameson Irish Whiskey family, the property has been fully retrofitted with new amenities and is a short drive from the vibrant capital city.
Situated on a rugged peninsula overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Old Head Golf Links offers splendid seascapes. Co-designed by Carr Golf’s namesake, J.B. Carr, Old Head is built on 220 acres of diamond-shaped land jutting into the deep blue sea for nearly two miles. The meticulously maintained course overlooks the prominent black-and white-striped lighthouse, considered one of the best views in all of golf.
Scotland’s Royal Troon Golf Club will always be connected by one of golf’s greatest duels. Henrick Stenson recorded 10 birdies in a thrilling final round 8-under 63 for a one stroke victory over Phil Mickelson in the 2016 Open. It’s a must play.
“For 30 years our organization has received great joy in creating memorable experiences for our guests,” says Marty Carr, executive chairman of Carr Golf. “This summer is an ideal time to explore Ireland and Scotland’s stunning landscapes and warm hospitality while playing the world’s finest links layouts.”
In addition to these tee times, Carr Golf hosts several widely popular tournaments including the upcoming 12th Annual World Invitational Father & Daughter Tournament played at Southwest Ireland’s Waterville Golf Links (July 23 – 26) and the Donald Ross Pro-Am in Northern Scotland (Sept. 24 – 28). Only a few team spots remain for both events.
Dublin-based, Carr Golf provides unrivaled customer care for groups of all sizes and exclusive “one-of-a-kind” itineraries featuring luxury accommodations, transportation, sightseeing, fine dining, caddies and anything else needed for stress-free, extraordinary golf vacations. Carr Golf also works directly with a multitude of PGA club professionals on incentivized member and association getaways.
