The Club
It was here that the Irish Open Amateur Championship was inaugurated in 1892, and the Irish Professional Championship in 1907.

Scott. The Championship was played here for the eight time in 1995, and was won by Julie Hall from Felixstowe Ferry GC.
When the club was formed in May 1888, it was known as The County Club. It became THe Royal County Club in 1892, when H.R.H The
Duke of York was its patron, and The Royal Portrush Golf Club three years later, with the H.R.H The Prince of Wales as patron.
