The annual tournament (July 3-9) will showcase five prestigious golf clubs in the Belfast area and will offer golfing tourists the opportunity of playing three, four, or all five parkland courses. It’s open to both men and women golfers.
Belfast is the pilot cluster in ongoing work by Tourism NI and the industry to develop further geographic golf cluster groups in Northern Ireland as part of the Golf Tourism Strategy, which aims to make golf tourism worth £50 million to the economy by 2020.
The founding clubs in the Greater Belfast Golf Cluster include Rory McIlroy’s home club, Holywood Golf Club, Belvoir Park Golf Club, Malone Golf Club, Royal Belfast Golf Club, and Shandon Park Golf Club.
Simon Wallace, Tourism NI Golf Sales and Marketing manager, said: ‘Our links courses such as Royal Portrush and Royal County Down are world-famous and rightly so, but we also have a host of fantastic parkland courses, with some of the best located within the Belfast cluster.
‘Tourism NI is also committed to growing the value of golf tourism and to the development of further golf clusters. They will work on a collaborative marketing group basis to grow golf visitor numbers and revenue, and showcase Northern Ireland as a must-visit golfing destination.’
