Royal Portrush Golf Club

When the Club formed in May 1888, it was known as the Country Club. It became the Royal Country Club in 1892, when H.R.H The Duke of York was its patron. Finally the name was changed to "The Royal Portrush Golf Club" in 1895 with H.R.H The Prince of Wales as patron.

Royal Portrush was the venue for the first professional tournament in Ireland in 1895 and in the same year the first Ladies Championships were held.

Fred Daly, the only Irishman ever to win "The Open", in 1947 ay Hoylake, was a Royal Portrush member. July 1951 saw the first Open Championship ever held in Ireland, played at Royal Portrush on the course, redesigned by Mr H.S Colt in 1947.
