And with nearly 50,000 fans expected through the Royal Portrush gates each day, there will be plenty of pints and pies sold over the course of the four days.
But there is a lot of talk around how much things cost this year.
The Open are charging £7.75 for a pint of Guinness, Singha beer or Angry Orchard cider.
That is an increase of 25p from last year as many sporting events bump up their prices amid rising costs.

And it is only 70p cheaper than the £8.45 Wimbledon charged for Guinness - and 10p less than Wembley's prices for the Oleksandr Usyk vs Daniel Dubois fight.
However, it is still a steep cost, especially in Northern Ireland where prices are generally lower compared to premium London venues.
Some golf supporters went online to vent their views.
One told the Daily Mail: "£7.75 for a pint at a major sporting event is expensive however I see pubs in London charging similar prices every day."

Another wrote: "£7.75 for a Guinness is on the high side of normal these days."
And a final user typed: "That is actually cheap for a pint of Guinness. If you can afford a ticket for the Open, then you can afford the Guinness."

Elsewhere, a sausage roll or pie is £6.50, a chocolate bar £1.50 and sandwiches from £5 - plus £4 for a speciality coffee.
It is far cry from the Masters, where Augusta famously charge patrons tiny fees for refreshments.
At this year's tournament - famously won by Rory McIlroy - sandwiches cost between $1.50 (£1.16) and $3 (£2.32).
The most expensive item under the snacks and miscellaneous items was a $3 (£2.32) Georgia peace ice cream sandwich - with chips, cookies and candy all $1.50 (£1.16).
As for the drinks, all of the soft and hot ones available - including cola, iced tea, lemonade and coffee - set golf lovers back just $2 (£1.55).
This year's Open prize money total post stands at £12.7million - with the winner banking a cheque for £2.3m and £29,000 for 70th place.

Mikel Arteta asked Arsenal stars to vote for 2025-26 club captain… with a clear winner ‘by 100 miles'
MARTIN ODEGAARD was the easy winner of a player vote over who should captain Arsenal this season. Manager Mikel Arteta revealed the poll ahead of Sunday's Premier League opener away at Arsenal. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Martin Odegaard has received a surprise backing from his teammates ahead of the new season Credit: EPA 3 There had been calls from outside to hand Declan Rice the captain's armband this season Credit: EPA 3 There has been an overwhelming backing for the Arsenal captain that even surprised his boss Credit: Reuters And the decision came 24 hours after former captain Tony Adams urged Odegaard to strip him of the captaincy and award the skipper's armband to Declan Rice. Asked about Adams' comments, Arteta said: 'Well my opinion is clear and it's not just my opinion, it's all the staff and especially the players. 'I asked them to vote for the captain and I got the result yesterday and by a mile away, by a big, big 100 miles, everybody chose the same person, which was Martin Odegaard. 'It is the most clear sign that you can have. It's how they feel about who has to be their captain to defend, improve and win the matches that we want to win. So I think there's no question about that. 'We all see things differently and if we're going to talk about leadership and the kind of leaders, we can be here for hours. So, at the end what matters the most is how these guys feel about who needs to lead them, how they feel comfortable, who is going to push them, who is going to give them support when it's happening. 'Basically, who do you want to represent the club and the team when we go out there and face any opposition? That's the key.' Arteta goes into Sunday's game knowing the pressure is on his team. And he also backed new arrival Viktor Gyokeres to enjoy a flying start at his new club after arriving from Sporting Lisbon. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK He said: 'We have to understand the player and expose the player to the conditions that he can fulfil his incredible potential. That's going to be the key and the good thing is that there have been many players, many strikers, who have come from different leagues and have come to the Premier League and been successful. And it's for us creating the right context for Viktor to do what he does the best, which is to score goals. 'He's getting better and better every day. He's normally a really fit player. It's true that he hasn't trained so much with us. He had those two moments in games when he participated and the feeling was very good. So let's see what we do on Sunday.' How Man Utd v Arsenal will be decided by 'Flying-V' attack battle Apart from long-term absentee Gabriel Jesus, Arteta does not have any major issues. Leandro Trossard could return to training tomorrow after a stint on the sidelines. Asked whether he is looking forward to the season, Arteta said: 'The more I spend time with the players and the staff, the more reason they give me to come every single day with a big smile on my face, with a lot of energy. I'm very enthusiastic about what we do. I feel very, very privileged. 'You keep digging, digging, digging and you have to be digging because one day the gold is going to be there.'
