Travelling to Derry for the Irish Open? Here are ten things to see and do in Portstewart

For those going to this year’s Dubai Duty Free Irish Open, there will be a lot to enjoy, both on and off the course. As part of the Rolex Series the event will be the biggest and richest ever.

The prize fund of $7 million (€6.1m) has attracted many of Europe’s and the world’s top stars.

There will be no big-name Americans, unfortunately, but there will be a tremendous buzz to the event as Rory McIlroy’s involvement has seen the Irish Open become one of the European Tour’s highest profile events.
