Portstewart Golf Club Co Londonderry
3 Mighty Courses, 1 Magnificent Club.
A very warm welcome to Portstewart Golf Club, founded in 1894 and home to three fine true links golf courses. Few clubs in the British Isles or Ireland can claim to have three courses under their name.
The outstanding Championship Strand Course was the host for the 2017 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open. Jon Rahm, the 2017 Winner was certainly impressed, “the golf course is amazing. It’s probably one of the most beautiful golf courses I have ever seen, if not the most”.
We pride ourselves on being a Club for all; for members and visitors and for beginners to the world’s finest golfers. From the 1st tee to the 19th hole, all our Staff will endeavour to make your day one that you will remember for a very long time.
The scoring however, is very much between yourself and Mother Nature…
The Strand Course
PAR 72, 7,118 yards
What can be said of the mighty Strand Course? Dubbed as ‘the sleeping giant’, do you dare to tackle it! It is without doubt one of the very top true links golf courses in Ireland. It easily stands alongside the two Ulster Royals, Portrush and County Down. The brainchild of Willie Park Jr and Des Giffin (in whose honour the 6th hole has been renamed), ably assisted by undulating dunes, the run off bunkers, rolling fairways and tricky manicured greens.
A ‘true test of golf’ is a much overused phrase, but in this case it is a reflection of the variety and ingenuity of the shots required to get round this masterpiece of a golf course.
The views from almost every hole are quite simply, magical. The Atlantic is never very far away and the beauty of the course has to be seen to be believed. It is a treat that will take a very long time, if ever, to fade from the golfers memory. The jewel in the Portstewart crown.
