Golf
Staying at Beulah House Portrush you are never more than a short drive from a fine golf course, and as a keen golfer and winner of the Womens Black Bush Tournament Helen can advise you on all your golf needs. Just a mile away is Royal Portrush Golf Club, venue to the 2012 Irish Open, and one of the world’s greatest courses as well as a breeding ground for champions - the club is home to Graeme McDowell, the 2010 US Open Champion, and Darren Clarke, the 2011 British Open Champion, and the late Fred Daly, the 1947 British Open Champion.
 
In less than a half hour drive you could be teeing off in one of more than half a dozen courses offering links or parkland challenges for all abilities and budgets – Portstewart Golf Club, Castlerock Golf Club, Roe Park Resort, Bushfoot and Ballycastle Golf Clubs are but a few of the courses within minutes of Beulah House Portrush.
 
Driving an hour or so from our bed and breakfast accommodation on relatively quiet country roads will give you dozens of courses to choose from including Royal Belfast Golf Club and Holywood Golf Club, home to the current World Number One and two-time major champion Rory McIlroy.
 
A short ferry crossing from Magilligan Point will take you to the Inishowen Peninsula in County Donegal where you can play either Greencastle, or the two championship links courses at Ballyliffin Golf Club, before returning for an evening of relaxation in Portrush or at Beulah House.
Hiking & Biking
You can choose to stroll or saunter from Beulah House to the stunning coastline and walk one of the many golden beaches, or for more serious walkers you can join the Ulster Way, and incorporate shorter sections of the Causeway Coast Way and the North Sperrins Way. There are plenty of coastal walks, rural walks and forest walks to suit all abilities and we can help with advice, route planning and maps.
 
There is no better way to see the stunning rugged coastline than from two wheels. There are a variety of terrains and routes, and significant sections of the National Cycle Network Route 93 pass close by Beulah House. You can bring your own bike, hire from specialists in the area or even borrow a jalopy from us!
 
Binevenagh Mountain - Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) – is a must for walkers and bikers and outdoor enthusiasts. It is a special and unique place with a spectacular landscape steeped in history and heritage.
