It's not always easy to play the best courses in Ireland - especially when they're links and they're so populated with American links enthusiasts. But, every now and again (year after year in this case), you get an Open Week that makes it possible... and makes the journey to a distant town an essential part of your summer's golf. And when you throw in the €20-€30 green fee, you'd be mad not to pay a visit to Sligo town and the brilliance that is Rosses Point.
Here are the details of their 11-event Open Week (August 1st to August 10th):
- Friday 1st August: Team of 4 any combination men’s and ladies. €120 per team.
- Saturday 2nd August: Fourball Betterball sponsored by Hargadons. €50 per pair.
- Sunday 3rd August: Singles Strokes. €30 per person.
- Monday 4th August: Singles Stableford Men’s or Ladies. €30 per person.
- Tuesday 5th August: Ladies Open Singles Stableford sponsored by Zurich Insurance. €30 per person.

| The brilliant but extremely tough par four 17th. The tee is clearly visible above and left of the golf bags by the green. |
- Wednesday 6th August: Men’s Singles V Par. €30 per person.
