Michael I did such a trip a couple of years ago.
Started Sunday with RCD
Monday Portsalon - understated but with some real funk, Lovely low key club and as good an opening course as you could wish for.
Tuesday Rossapenna. The back 9 in the OTM course is definitely missable but this year the new nine should be open. Ruddy/ Doak associate. Not everyone like s the big course but I do. Again a stunning location.

Ballyliffen. I played the new course. It was OK with a few memorable hoes but if I ever go back I’ll try the old one.
Thursday AM
Castlerock. Agree with Bill one of those unheralded places where gold is great. I think its Thursday mornings when they have an Open Comp – great fun to play with the members. Also many of them told me some of the best holes in the region were on their 9 holer but I hadn’t time to investigate.
PM
Portstewart divides people but few would want to miss it.
Friday AM
Portrush Dunluce nothing needs to be said.

Portrush Valley They should change the name (you’ll probably use Rathmore GC to change your shoes) and help it get the recognition it deserves. I will be back for more of this.

Enjoy and please share your experiences.
