Hi Ruairi,
We had a great time and were very fortunate with the weather. All four days of golf were rain free, in fact we only experienced some light rain in Belfast for a few hours…that was it. Accommodations were perfect for us, the Merrion and Merchant were easy walking distance to shops, points of interest and restaurants. Quite frankly the Merchant in Belfast was an extraordinary hotel, far exceeded our expectations and has spoiled us for any future visits, a must now. The golfing was fantastic, I would have to say Royal Portrush was our favorite, followed by the Island, Port Stewart and European Club. Next time we will book well in advance to get on Royal County Down, Portmarnock etc…
Thanks again for all your help, we truly enjoyed it and look forward to returning again,
Best regards,
