This year's North & West Coast Links Challenge, the Wild Atlantic Way, brings us around the Northern tip of Ireland. Fly into Dublin and head North for the Slieve Donard Hotel. Play Ardglass, the scenic cliff top course with views of the Isle of Man. Move to the North West Coast to Portrush and take on the Dunluce Course at Royal Portrush and then Portstewart. Head South into the Republic of Ireland and the county of Donegal where Rosapenna and Ballyliffin will be waiting for us.
