Portstewart Golf Club

Portstewart Golf Club is one of Ireland’s most visually striking links courses, set along the Atlantic coastline of County Londonderry and framed by some of the tallest dunes in Europe. The Strand Course, redesigned by local favorite and Open Champion Darren Clarke, has transformed Portstewart into a must play destination for golfers seeking both beauty and challenge. From the opening tee shot, the sense of scale is immediate, with sweeping views across sandy ridges and open coastline.

The front nine at Portstewart is widely regarded as one of the finest opening stretches in links golf. Fairways flow naturally through dunes rather than between them, creating a layout that feels expansive yet playable. The course rewards thoughtful positioning and confidence from the tee, while the constantly changing wind ensures no two rounds ever feel the same. Greens are subtly contoured, encouraging creative approaches and a confident short game.

Portstewart Strand Course has firmly established itself on the international stage, co hosting the Irish Open in 2017 alongside Royal Portrush. The event highlighted the course’s ability to challenge the world’s best players while retaining its welcoming character. Portstewart is modern in design but deeply rooted in the traditions of links golf, offering an experience that is both exhilarating and authentic.
