Dubbed ‘the sleeping giant’, The Strand Course is a true masterpiece of links golf. It easily ranks among the top links courses in Ireland, standing proudly alongside Royal Portrush and Royal County Down. Originally envisioned by Willie Park Jr. and later refined by Des Giffin—in whose honour the 6th hole is now named—this course is as challenging as it is breathtaking.
With undulating dunes, run-off bunkers, rolling fairways, and meticulously maintained greens, The Strand is a true test of golf in every sense. The phrase is often overused, but here it genuinely reflects the ingenuity, precision, and variety required to navigate this masterpiece.
The views from nearly every hole are simply magical, with the Atlantic Ocean ever-present, adding both beauty and challenge. Once played, The Strand Course leaves an indelible mark on every golfer’s memory, a jewel in the crown of Portstewart Golf Club.
