Carr Golf Announces 2019 British Open Packages

One of the world’s oldest sporting contests, the British Open will return to Royal Portrush for the first time since 1951. It will also mark only the second time in the tournament’s 150-year history that it will be hosted outside of Scotland and England. Joe Carr, Carr Golf’s late founder and one of Ireland’s greatest golf heroes, won one of his three British Amateur Championship’s at Royal Portrush in 1960.

Along with the opportunity to attend The Open in person, the offers below include luxury accommodations, tee times on several of the world’s finest links courses and a personal driver.

The five-day “Belfast City & The Open” package includes accommodations in Belfast (July 18 – 22) with tee times on Ardglass Golf Club (July 18) and Royal County Down, Golf Digest’s No. 1 ranked course in the world, on July 19.

Also included are tickets to the final practice round and opening day of the tournament (July 17 – 18).
