Going to The Open at Portrush 2025

The policy appears to be not to list the exact location of the car parks. This is probably to prevent people putting the wrong location into their navigation gadgets and getting lost. Or that they will head direct to a P&R car park and find it full so I would say just follow the signs. Which will direct you to a P&R which has free capacity.

This is the official advice.....

Fans are advised to turn off satellite navigation systems and follow the appropriate signage to ensure the smoothest journey to and from The Open.

Getting there

Just checking if anyone has 2 or even 1 kids go free ticket for Thursday that they are not using.

I know people have put adult tickets up on resale platform for people who can't go but they don't let people put up the kids go free tickets if they are not using them but they are allowed to be transferred to somebody else if not being used.

Looking at bringing my 8 and 11 year old, thanks.

Darren Clarke was first off the tee on day one in 2019, Padraig H. will have the honour in 2025.

Full tee times will be posted at 2 p.m. Tuesday.

Was there today and the app had Rory out at 9.30am but he was out on the course at 6.30am and finished by 10.45am. Noticed a huge crowd on the 16th green when I arrived about 10ish, wandered up and there was the bould Rory!!

The times are very hit and miss on the app, a lot of players had multiple tee times - best job today was hang around the 16 green/17 tee from 10.30 onwards and you'll see a good few coming through. Or go down to the driving range.

Its obvious enough as well from 16/17 area where the big names are. That area is up high and you will see the crowds following them on the course.

Weather was great today apart from about an hour or so at 1pm when all play was suspended due to a thunderstorm. Absolutely lashed but the sun was shining for the rest of the day.

I'm starting to get quite excited about this now. I'm going on Thursday with a few mates. We're heading from Galway on Wednesday, staying the night in Omagh in an Airbnb, driving to the Park & Ride on Thursday morning, dinner booked in Portrush that evening, then head back to Omagh late.

I've only ever been to one golf tournament previously, and that was the Houston Open in 2009 (I was living there at the time). It was on just before The Masters, and if I remember correctly, everyone in the World's top-20 was playing that week except Tiger.

Was going to say, seeing one restaurant get battered for taking advantage/the piss with prices.

Weather changed up a lot again, Saturday looks like one of the better days so hopefully this one sticks

Totally!

A 10 month old at a golf tournament would be tough going. Unless you can keep the asleep as the stewards will always be making sure there’s zero noise close to the players, it’s tough to tell a 10 month old to stay quiet!

You could split up and take turns of looking at the tournament, while the other entertains the child away from the action.

A friend of mine has a spare adult ticket + u16 free attached for Sunday. If anyone is interested please PM me and I can put you in contact with him.

Thanks

Hi looking for an U16 ticket for Thursday if anyone has one, thanks.

At the moment weather looks more favourable for Rorys side

Weather looks poor for most of the Open. Friday looking like best day.

Bring your waterproofs.

I have 1 spare adult ticket for tomorrow along with 2 junior tickets.

Also have 2 junior tickets for Thursday.

PM me if of interest to anyone.

I have 2 general admission tkts for Sunday, face value.
