Sat 20.07.2024 Portsmouth, England – South Winchester Golf Club – Additional course 1
This impressive championship course has an easily comprehensible layout with expansive and well-modulated fairways. Even a ball that is played off course and into the rough should generally be easy to get back into play. However, the numerous sand and water hazards are a slight hindrance on the way to the green.

Tue 23.07.2024 Bantry, Ireland – Bantry Bay Golf Club
The combination of parkland and links course designed in 1975 by Christy O’Connor Junior lies right on Bantry Bay. There are views over the bay from 14 of the 18 holes, and you may want to look out for sightings of the MS Europa every now and again. Some of the fairways are very hilly so it is advisable to use a cart on this round. The original, traditional layout has some unusual surprises in store. You may find that the tee for one hole needs to be played across the green of the previous hole, for instance.

Wed 24.07.2024 Dingle, Ireland – Dingle Links – Additional course 2
In addition to your golfing experience, the extremely attentive hospitality of the local golfers will stay in your memory. The traditional links course, which opened in 1924, lies right on Ireland’s west coast. To this day, each of the fairways bears a Gallic name. This club has an accordingly traditional overall atmosphere.

Thu 25.07.2024 Galway, Ireland – Galway Bay Golf Resort
Designed by Irish professional golfer Christy O’Connor Junior, this course is an enchanting blend of classic links style and resort course right on the Atlantic coast. This means that the holes have unusually wide fairways for a links course, paired with plenty of typical pot bunkers and small, fast greens. On top of all this, you have the views and the wind off the Atlantic to contend with.

Sat 27.07.2024 Belfast, Northern Ireland – Belvoir Park Golf Club
These 18 parkland holes are located around three kilometres from the city centre of Belfast. Some of them run past very overgrown tree landscapes. The forest between the 7th and 15th fairways is known as the "Laughing Forest". The fairways, consisting of the accompanying flora, often do not allow the trajectory to break away, so that the Scottish saying "straight shots save the score" comes into play. The rather modern clubhouse is somewhat atypical. Nevertheless, the ideal setting for a great round of golf!

Tue 30.07.2024 Invergordon, Scotland – Fortrose & Rosemarkie Golf Links
One of the oldest golf courses in Scotland awaits you. The golf links have been fascinating the golf community here since 1793. On a peninsula in the Moray Firth, you will find the 18 long, narrow holes in typical links style. Whereby you will come across numerous pot bunkers, which obviously originate from the pen of five-time Open Champion James Braid; he reworked the course again in 1932 after the model of Royal Dornoch. All in all, a very nice Scottish golf experience!

Wed 31.07.2024 Newhaven (Edinburgh), Scotland – Dalmahoy Hotel & Country Club – East Course – Additional course 3
This very typically English golf course has two different 18-hole experiences. The traditional layout of the course leads to very narrow fairways, which demand a great deal of precision. The level of concentration required to send your ball off in the right direction means that this course will stay in your memory as a very intense golfing experience. As well as the narrow fairways already described, bunkers that are typical of English courses also need to be avoided. There are also plenty of water hazards to play around on the Championship Course.
