Two of the best golf courses on earth sit at opposite corners of Northern Ireland: Royal County Down at the foot of the Mournes, Royal Portrush up on the Causeway Coast, host of The Open Championship. Most serious itineraries play both. We drive both.
The classic play: stay put at your hotel in Newcastle, and let Robert turn Portrush into a day trip. He collects you and the clubs early, has you at the club with time to warm up, and waits — he's there when you walk off the 18th, and you're back at the Slieve Donard bar for dinner telling lies about the Calamity Corner par you nearly made. No hotel change, no repacking, no designated driver arguments.
From £250 saloon / £290 minibus each way — or ask about the full-day rate on our day hire page, which usually makes more sense for a there-and-back with waiting time. Robert will quote you whichever is cheaper for your plan.
Flying in and heading straight for the Causeway Coast? Direct runs from Dublin Airport (from £380 / £420, about 3¼ hours) with the same arrivals-hall routine as every pickup: name sign, flight tracked, bags handled. Belfast airport pickups to Portrush are also available — ask for a quote.
Portstewart, Castlerock, Ardglass, County Louth — if your itinerary includes them, so do we. Tell us the courses and the dates; Robert builds the driving around your tee times, not the other way round.
An Open venue means competitive morning slots. A 6am departure from Newcastle doesn't cost extra and doesn't require an apology.
Robert doesn't vanish mid-round — he's in the parking lot when you finish.
It's the Causeway Coast; pack the rain gear and play anyway. That's links golf.
