The 15th green, pictured in 2025 and again in 1939 when it played as the 13th, looks almost unchanged. Eighty-six years apart, yet near identical - proof that some holes simply don’t need refining.

The @RandA have released the results of an economic impact study and we’re delighted with the findings. This summer’s Open Championship delivered a fantastic boost not only to the national and local economies but also to the region’s profile as a whole.

While many of the Dunluce’s greens are raised, others - like the 13th and 17th - sit naturally on the ground, letting the subtle contours do the talking.

A front pin at the sixth: 'Harry Colt’s'. After redesigning the links, Colt was invited by the club to choose a hole to bear his name. He selected the sixth, a hole where it’s perfectly clear where not to miss.

The new 8th hole, along with the 7th and 9th on the Valley Course, has settled in beautifully and enjoyed a fantastic first year. All three are superb additions to the Valley, masterfully designed by Martin Ebert.

The world-class duneland that our 36 holes, our team and our wonderful membership, call home. The 6th tee on The Dunluce - Harry Colt's - is one of the best spots on the course to observe it all from.

Images never do the steep climb to the 1st green – or the depth of the bunkers – justice. Just remember this: aim for the back right, steer clear of the sand, and thank us later.

Summer evenings on our links are hard to beat, with long shadows and a golden glow making the courses look spectacular. As winter approaches, scenes like this feel a world away.

A common sight on the Dunluce – chipping back up to the pin after missing the green. Many of Colt’s greens are perched up, demanding precise iron play to find the surface.

The closing stretch on the Valley is packed with exceptional holes. Take the dogleg 14th "Giant’s Elbow" which sweeps beautifully from one towering dune to another.

When H.S Colt routed the course nearly a century ago, it’s almost as if he had future Championships in mind. Case in point: The 13th and 17th ('Feather Bed' & 'Purgatory'), two neighbourly green sites which serve as a dramatic point on the course down the closing stretch.

The tee boxes on the 7th are staggered to make sure Wee Nellie comes into play for everyone. Whether you’re playing The Open from the back tees or off the forwards as a higher handicapper, you’ll still have to take on this gigantic bunker.

Sunrise over the Valley Course. A must-play for anyone visiting Northern Ireland, especially with the progress that has been made to renovate this treasured links by Mackenzie & Ebert in recent years.

Crest the hill on the 15th and you’re met with one of the most breathtaking views in links golf. At its heart sit the Skerries. A chain of small islands that shield our duneland. Without them, who knows what this landscape would look like today.
