The only course in Ireland to have hosted the Open, Royal Portrush plays out over an awe-inspiring area of duneland on the wild Antrim coast. The 5th is a fabulous par 4 out to a green above the beach, with the 14th, Calamity, a peerless yet bunkerless par 3. Seven new championship tees have recently been built to further strengthen the test.
Panellists' comments: "An exhilarating test"; "Weak opening and closing holes, but the other 16 are truly magnificent"
