Elephant Rock Hotel
Perched in the heart of Portrush, the Elephant Rock Hotel is a smart, comfortable base for a Northern Ireland links break. You're close to the town's bars, restaurants and sea air, and within a short drive of Royal Portrush, Portstewart and Castlerock, three of the North Coast's headline rounds.
Inside, it's geared up for golf groups who want quality without fuss. Rooms are spacious and well finished, the leisure facilities give you a genuine reset after 18 in the wind and the food and drink offering makes it easy to keep the whole trip under one roof.
It's also a great pick if you like your evenings as much as your tee times. From a quick post-round pint to a longer night out, Portrush is lively, walkable and full of character. If you're building a multi-round itinerary and want a central base that keeps logistics simple, Elephant Rock puts you in the right place for both golf and downtime.
Beyond Portrush itself, the wider North Coast offers a stacked line-up of links within easy driving distance. Royal County Down is also doable as a day trip with an earlier start and a bit more driving, but the real strength here is having multiple championship-standard courses on your doorstep without long transfers eating into your day.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want a central Portrush base with quality rooms, solid facilities and easy access to the North Coast's best links.
Who is it best for?
Groups prioritising Royal Portrush, societies planning a multi-course rota (Portstewart, Castlerock and beyond) and anyone who wants a walkable town for evenings after the golf.

Accommodation at Elephant Rock Hotel
The Elephant Rock Hotel is a strong option for golfers who want a high-quality stay in central Portrush. Rooms are generously sized and designed for switching off after a day on the links, with a polished feel that suits couples, friends' trips and society groups.
For post-round recovery, the hotel's leisure facilities are a real plus, ideal for loosening up before the next day's tee time. The gym, pool and relaxation areas give you the space to unwind properly, which makes a difference when you're stacking multiple rounds back to back.
Food and drink is another highlight, with an on-site restaurant and bars that make it easy to keep plans simple, from early starts through to relaxed evenings. The restaurant focuses on local produce and seasonal ingredients, whilst the bars offer a welcoming atmosphere for post-round pints and recounting the day's triumphs and disasters. Expect attentive service, a well-curated drinks list and menus that cater to every appetite, from hearty breakfasts that set you up for a morning tee time to refined evening meals that feel like a bit of an occasion.
Location is the big win. Royal Portrush sits just a few minutes away, and the wider North Coast rota is stacked with standout options including Portstewart and Castlerock. If you're looking to add a bigger-name day trip, Royal County Down is also within reach with an earlier start and a bit more driving.
Best of all, you can step out into Portrush in the evening without taxis and timetables. It's a lively town with plenty of choice for a celebratory pint, good seafood and a bit of atmosphere, which is exactly what most golf groups want after 36 holes and a few hard-fought pars.
The hotel's architecture makes an impression, with a modern look, bright public spaces and a coastal feel that suits the location. The overall vibe is smart and welcoming, with none of the stuffiness, striking exactly the right balance for golf groups who want quality, comfort and a bit of character in their base.
