Course Description

Portstewart Golf Club - Situated on Ulster’s magnificent Causeway Coast Portstewart Golf Club presents a difficult but fair game. The Strand Course, redesigned in 1992, is undisputedly the jewel in Portstewart’s crown for both quality of game and scenery. The course is set in classic links country amid towering sand dunes with views at every turn of the blue Donegal Hills, the rolling Atlantic and the tranquil estuary of the River Bann. The opening hole with its elevated tee, dog-leg right to the green and sandy strip on the right, was always a particularly good and memorable opening hole and it is now immediately followed by seven new holes which are a joy to play. For something a little less challenging golfers can join the Riverside Course. The nine-hole course, suitable for all of the family, stretches from the clubhouse down to the River Bann. Finally there is the Old Course situated at the eastern end of Portstewart along the rocky shore, where golf was first played as far back as 1889. Portstewart is definitely a Championship course and has played host to the Irish Amateur Championship in 1992, held qualifying rounds of ‘Open’ in 1951 and has hosted other events such as the Irish Professionals and Irish Amateur Close.
