Reasons to Visit Portstewart Golf Club

Portstewart officially opened in 1894 but the game here dates back to 1889
The venue has hosted the 2017 Irish Open
Consistently in the Top 100 Courses in Britain & Ireland

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.

Strand Course (Portstewart Golf Club (North & West Coast Links))

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.
