The best Open Championship venues
From Sandwich to Carnoustie and all points in between, what are the top 10 Open Championship venues?
10. Royal Portrush
Portrush, County Antrim
In 2019 we saw the Open return to Royal Portrush and Northern Ireland for the first time since 1951. It was the biggest sporting event ever hosted by Northern Ireland.
The Harry Colt-designed Dunluce Links has recently been modernised by Mackenzie Ebert, with two new holes in the dunes replacing the existing 17th and 18th.
