Portstewart Golf Club
The Strand Course at Portstewart Golf Club is a result of over a century of developments, with golf having been played on the links since 1894. Major work began on the land in the 1980s, and the original Willie Park gem in its current incarnation was completed by Des Giffin in 1992.
Located on the Northern Ireland's north coast amongst huge sand dunes with views over the Atlantic to Inishowen Head, the Strand course stands shoulder to shoulder with the two Ulster Royals, Portrush and County Down.
Having hosted the Irish Open in 2017, Portstewart is Northern Irish championship links at its very best.

Golf Courses at Portstewart Golf Club
The Strand Course
Carved among the colossal sand dunes, the golf course provides superb views across the Atlantic mouth of Lough Foyle and the Inishowen peninsula. The web of dunes that plays host to Portstewart is called ‘Thirsty Hollow', and is a truly spectacular place to enjoy a foray into Irish golf.
The designer has created a number of incredible holes, and deserves credit for ensuring that the new holes assimilate subtly and smoothly with the originals. Of any, the most fascinating hole is arguably the opening hole, daunting downhill par-4 that gives an insight into the immense character of the golf course throughout. Just a few minutes from the equally magnificent Royal Portrush, Portstewart is at the heart of a magnificent Northern Irish golf tour.
2014 saw Portstewart placed at the forefront of amateur golf in its hosting of the 119th Amateur Championship. As part of the 36 hole qualification process, the links layout provided a suitable test for the world's amateur golfers. The championship was eventually won by Bradley Neil who triumphed over South African Zander Lombard with a 2&1 victory in the 36 hole final.

The Old Course
The original 9 holes of The Old Course run along the rocky coastline, east of Portstewart town on the Portmore Road heading towards Portrush. During the early 1900s the club managed to obtain more land and by 1934 the course had been extended to 18 holes.
Not a long course by any standards but the ancient fairways are great for groups of golfers looking for enjoyment combined with a walk through history.

The course is unsurpassed in its beauty, design and difficulty. No complaints about the staff and customer service should put anybody off playing it...a true gem. Don't bring your driver unless you are on the tour! The greeting by the team when you arrive is too contrived, too rigid, too much like an American resort; we do not want that experience in a place like Portrush. Also, they attempted without asking to put a stranger into our 3-ball which is totally unacceptable, and it was only after unnecessary hassle that they changed it back to how it should be. Also, overly expensive pro-shop is a rip-off and there are apparently no coffee facilities before 10am!

Course is up there in the most difficult of challenges.Our day was met by strong to gale force winds making it a ‘challenge by half’ from the white tees. Course in great condition, however in hindsight, irons off some tees would be the better option on many of the blind holes. Pro Shop and Bar staff very friendly throughout our day.

Howling winds and hail on the first tee, but soon calmed down and reasonable weather overall. Murderous in the rough, I have played on better greens but they were fine. Clubhouse if great and staff were excellent.
