The 2019 Open Championship Odds, Preview & Picks
Royal Portrush opened as a nine-hole course, known as The County Club, in 1888 and added a second nine in 1889. The course has since shifted a couple of times, moving into the sand hills and then taking its current layout in 1946, as the land that made up the first and eighteenth holes at the time eroded, and the course was redesigned with the addition of the current eighth and ninth holes.
One particularly challenging hole is No. 4, a 480-yard par 4, with Out of Bounds on the right and thick rough on the left, while No. 5 is a short par 4 with a green that sits right on the edge of a significant drop to the beach. No. 16 is called “Calamity” locally, a par 3 that runs uphill for 236 yards, going to a green with a deep ravine on the short side, to the right.
