2024 in Review
2024 was a banner year for Lyons Links, hosting hundreds of golfers and thrill-seekers throughout the UK and Ireland. Distinct highlights were hosting a collegiate tournament, while also putting on a Pro-Am that left golfers in awe. Check out highlights of both below, as well as photos from across the area.
College Invitational 2024
Held from September 18-20, Wake Forest were the official hosts for the inaugural Lyons Links College Invitational in 2024. Held at one of Ireland’s most historic Championship Links — Royal County Dublin. It proved to be a spectacular event, with Wake Forest, Elon, Cal Poly and the National University of Ireland Maynooth participating. Wake Forest won the event by 12 strokes over Elon, while Cal Poly and Maynooth tied for third. All four teams finished under par over the three-day invitational. We are looking forward to hosting the tournament again in 2025!
Michigan State visit
From August 16-24, 2024, the Michigan State University men’s golf team came to Ireland for an eight-night adventure through some of the best courses that the country has to offer. The package included Portmarnock Links, The K Club, The Island, Royal County Down, Royal Portrush and Portstewart. The trip also included a welcome dinner at The Guinness Storehouse, a guided tour at Glendalough and Beyond the Trees at Avondale, a distillery tour and tasting at Bushmill’s, chutney and jam making, plus many other once-in-a-lifetime opportunities.
