Portstewart Golf Club

“The Strand course is an absolute standout and worth the extra $$$ to play. Even with consistent rain and slow/sandy greens (recent work done on them)... the layout through the hills is epic.”

“The day we played must have been the windiest day of golf I've ever played in my life. 30 mile an hour winds with gusts up to who knows what! But the sky was beautifu,l sun was out and we had a most wonderful day of golf. Highly recommend and would do it again, high winds or not. Cheers”

“One of the greatest links experiences in the world! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Portstewart Golf Club (The Strand Course) is an absolute titan of Irish links golf and an essential pilgrimage for any serious golfer. Hosting the Irish Open here proved what a world-class venue this is, but playing it in person is something else entirely. The opening stretch is legendary for a reason—it is widely considered to have the most breathtaking front nine in all of golf. From the very 1st tee box, perched high above the coastline, you are treated to a monumental panorama of towering, untouched sand dunes, the Atlantic ocean, and the sweeping beach below. The drive off the 1st tee is one of the most exhilarating tee shots you will ever hit. Architecturally, the course is a masterpiece. The front nine weaves through the massive "Thistly Hollow" dunes, demanding precision, creative shot-making, and total commitment. The back nine transitions into more classic, rolling links terrain that tests your strategic course management and wind control. The conditioning of the course was flawless—fast, true greens, tight fairways, and impeccably maintained bunkers. Beyond the golf, the hospitality in the clubhouse was warm, welcoming, and genuinely Irish. If you are putting together a premier golf itinerary in Northern Ireland alongside Royal Portrush and Castlerock, Portstewart is a non-negotiable must-play. An unforgettable 5-star experience from start to finish!”
