The European Tour heads to Northern Ireland this week and tees up on probably one of the best golf courses in the world, Royal County Down. The course measures 7,000-yards from the tips and runs between the rugged sand dunes that are covered with purple heather and yellow gorse, which give the course its beauty. With naturally undulating fairways and small greens that have some harsh complexes in them, when the wind blows across the links, this beauty it bears its teeth and shows its brutal side.
George L. Baillie a Scottish schoolteacher originally laid out the first nine holes at Newcastle, which opened for play in 1889. Later that year, Old Tom Morris was paid four guineas to extend the course to 18 holes with play commencing on the extend course in 1890. The course was modified again in 1908 by six times Open Champion Harry Vardon, during that same year King Edward VII bestowed royal patronage on the club.
