Course Description and History:
Founded in 1894 Portstewart Golf Club was always a haven for the golfing purist. However, the reputation of the Strand Course was further enhanced by the building of new holes in the dunes between the Atlantic Ocean and the River Bann in the late eighties. Now the Strand Course is a must for the traveling golfer. Huge dunes are complemented by stunning views across the bay to the blue Donegal hills. Every shot in the bag will be tested. This is a true links course with fast greens in excellent condition all the year round.

Portstewart played host as a qualifying venue in the 1951 British Open and has held all the major amateur national Championships. It is an uncontested view that Portstewart has the best opening hole in Irish Golf. Well, here’s a secret – it might be the best opening hole in all of golf. Come and see it for yourself.

Playing alongside two miles of golden beach, with the Atlantic Ocean lapping the shore and Donegal Hills looming in the distance, the first hole is an exquisite 425 yard dogleg right. A good tee shot is essential in order to set up an approach to a large green, while club selection is the key to your second shot avoiding three putts. The par three 6th, though measuring only 140 yards is a superb hole, which, depending on wind requires a shot ranging from three iron to wedge, played to a plateau green.
