"Royal Portrush (Dunluce), Co. Antrim: The only Irish course ever to host the Open Championship, in 1951, this World Top 15 layout dates to 1888. The present links is a 1929 H.S. Colt creation that climbs into the dunes and features one of the greatest holes in golf, the 210-yard, par-3 14th, aptly named ""Calamity."" Amid winds whipping off the Irish Sea, a slice or fade off the tee will plunge into a 75-foot-deep chasm short and right of the hole. ($100-$291; 011 44 28 7082 2311, royalportrushgolfclub.com)"
