Play Royal Portrush before the Pros

1 September 2025 – Imagine walking the historic fairways of Royal Portrush Golf Club – the same course where legends and global stars of the game have competed in pursuit of glory.

For two lucky South African amateurs, that dream will become a reality with the third GolfRSA Race to The R&A 9 Hole Challenge.

The South African pair will tee it up in the 2025 R&A 9 Hole Challenge at Royal Portrush with the winning teams from Argentina, Australia, Canada, England, France, Germany, Ireland, New Zealand, Scotland and Wales.

Besides the honour of flying the flag for South Africa the 9-hole net Stableford scoring competition ahead of the 153rd Open Championship in Northern Ireland from 17-20 July, the local pairing will also earn the opportunity to watch the world’s best golfers in action at The Open.
