Royal County Down (Championship)

Royal County Down is consistently ranked among the very best golf courses in the world, its Championship Links running beneath the Mourne Mountains along Dundrum Bay with dramatic dune ridges, blind shots and gorse-lined fairways. The club also has the shorter Annesley Links alongside the main course, and it has hosted major events including the Senior Open Championship and, in 2007, the Walker Cup, with regular appearances on the Open Championship rota conversation.
