Prepare yourself for the mighty Strand Course, affectionately known as ‘the sleeping giant’, a golfing challenge that dares you to conquer it. Regarded as one of the finest true links courses in Ireland, it proudly stands alongside the esteemed Ulster Royals – Portrush and County Down. Undulating dunes, run-off bunkers, rolling fairways, and meticulously manicured greens all contribute to the Strand Course’s reputation as a true test of golf. The views from every hole on the course are simply magical. With the Atlantic Ocean never far from sight, the natural beauty that surrounds the course is awe-inspiring. The memories of playing on this exceptional course will linger in your mind for a lifetime. It is the crown jewel of Portstewart and was the prestigious host of the 2017 Irish Open.
