Portstewart Golf Club — Strand Course

Founded in 1894, Portstewart operates three 18-hole links, of which the Strand Course is the championship layout. Its opening stretch plays through towering sand dunes considered among the most dramatic in Irish golf, before settling into a more traditional links routing. The Strand hosted the 2017 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open, won by Jon Rahm, who called it 'one of the most beautiful golf courses I have ever seen.'
