The Bushmills Dunes resort, located at Runkerry Bay, will be built near the village of the same name (and home to the world’s oldest licensed distillery), a few miles east of Royal Portrush. The site is close to the World Heritage Site of the Giant’s Causeway.

Bushmills Dunes will be designed by David McLay Kidd’s practice. Kidd is alleged to have told the developers: “If I can’t get your course into the world’s top 50 you should shoot me”.

Golf tourism is already a major contributor to the economy, generating over £14 million each year in the Portrush area. Developing another world class resort in Northern Ireland will allow the area to further build on the Irish Open event in June and on the recent uccess of Darren Clarke, Rory McIlroy and Graeme McDowell, all of which is focusing huge attention on Northern Ireland as a golf destination.

A dramatic golf destination will soon grace the North Coast of Scotland. Trump  International Golf Links will rest upon 1,400 acres of sand dunes and rolling bluffs, and is set to become one of the finest golf destinations in Europe. Two championship golf courses will be backed by a state-of-the-art golf academy and a distinctive five-star hotel. The property also offers three miles of sparkling, white sand beaches.

During 2012 tee times are made available during limited dates only from July 15th to October 31st. There is tremendous interest already and the aim with 2012 is to give the public a unique chance to try the fabulous Links at a very preferential introductory Green Fee rate as the rate is set to rise for the following season.
