Portstewart Golf Club stands as one of the most distinctive golf destinations in the British Isles, offering an extraordinary 54 holes across three full courses—a rarity that few clubs can claim. The Strand Course is the undisputed jewel, playing as a championship test through some of Europe's most dramatic sand dune systems. The front nine, built through towering "Thistly Hollow" dunes in the 1990s, ranks among the most breathtaking opening nines in links golf, with elevated tees, steep elevation changes, and fairways carved through towering dunes that dwarf even Ballybunion. The iconic first hole—a 427-yard dogleg plummeting from an elevated tee to a secluded green tucked in the dunes—is considered one of the finest opening holes in links golf. The Strand's back nine transitions to firmer turf away from the dunes but maintains championship rigor throughout. For those seeking a gentler challenge without leaving the property, the Riverside meanders along the picturesque River Bann with genuine test and superior value, while the historic Old Course hugs the rocky Atlantic shoreline, offering heritage and charm with spectacular coastal views. The entire complex sits on the stunning Causeway Coast with uninterrupted views of Donegal hills, the Atlantic Ocean, and the River Bann—a setting of such natural beauty that Game of Thrones filmed nearby. Staff hospitality is legendary among visitors.
