- Zach E1 contributionDefinitely play at Portstewart!I’ve never been welcomed to a course quite like my visit to Portstewart. The entire team was extremely nice and helpful. I played 36 holes and it was one of my favorite golf days ever. The course is a must play course when visiting Northern Ireland. The front nine is stunning and the back nine is going to be amazing as well when they finish their work soon.Visited May 2024Travelled soloWritten 3 May 2024
- Dallas214tooDallas, Texas61 contributionsAmazing golf and caddie experienceI wanted to share that I had a fantastic round of golf today and how happy I was to have Gary McCafferty as my caddie. He was welcoming and displayed knowledgeable of both the course and how to shape my abilities to play slightly above my best round ever on such a difficult course. In addition he shared so much about the history of the course, the area and the landscape around us to make it my most memorable round in Northern Ireland as well as Ireland. Hope to come back soon and if so would be privileged to have Gary as my caddie.Visited May 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 18 May 2024
- Ben P1 contributionGreat golf course/staffPlayed yesterday and had one of the most enjoyable days of golf I’ve had in my life. The course was superb and the staff was great. One of the best parts was my caddy, Chris. Having Chris as my caddy made my experience far more enjoyable. He knew every inch of the course and was great to talk to during the round and gave me excellent advice throughout the day. It’s a round of golf I will remember for the rest of my life.Visited June 2024Travelled soloWritten 27 June 2024
- Robert K8 contributionsAmazing place and peopleWhat a great place, very warm welcome and introduction to course and clubhouse…. Then onto the Strand, great challenge with so many awesome views. So good the 4 seasons in a round did not seem to matter!! Everyone we came into contact with were a credit to the club. Thanks for the experience we hope to return.Visited July 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 8 July 2024
- Freedom6938344 contributionsThe friendliest golf club in the world!!!From the moment we arrived to the moment we left, the staff couldn’t have been more friendly or helpful. Ricky on the 1st tee, the staff in the halfway house. But above all was Ian in the pro shop. He didn’t stop smiling, was o friendly, welcoming and helpful. It’s people like this that makes the whole experience of visiting the worlds top golf courses more enjoyable.Visited September 2024Travelled with friendsWritten 24 September 2024

Played Riverside course recently - in good overall condition. But management really need to rethink their attitude to those players who need to use a buggy. I am unable to walk 18 holes due to a chronic medical condition (supported by an up to date consultant's letter). Last year I purchased my own single seater golf buggy so that I could play as often as am able to without it costing me a small fortune and paying more for a round than my playing partners. Unfortunately PGC insisted that I hire one of theirs at a cost of £40. Even after informing them that I had insurance to use the buggy, their stance did not change. Reason - club policy. In this day and age this is unacceptable and blatant discrimination in that it cost me an extra £40 simply because of my condition. Come on PGC - bring your policies up to date and in line with the vast, vast majority of other golf clubs who truly want to make golf a sport for all without discriminating against those with medical conditions.

This course was the only disappointing experience of my entire visit to Northern Ireland. Primary problem was a 5 ½ hour round. They didn’t seem to have any management of pace of play on the course. It was nice that the half-way house sold beer, but there were 5 groups all drinking beer and talking instead of teeing off on #10. The front 9, although scenic as it meandered though towering dunes, was extremely penal. The fairways were very narrow and had waist high, extremely thick rough just off of the fairway. This most certainly contributed to the slow pace of play as players searched for balls. Back 9 was much more playable. The greens were pretty bumpy. It looked like they had recently verticutted or aerated them. The pro shop staff was friendly. Overall not a very enjoyable experience.

Good Morning BigDabe81,
I am sorry to hear you didn't enjoy your round on the Strand course.
We do have systems implemented to manage the pace of play which include our course ranger and caddies.
On a rare occasion there can be delays when visitors take longer to admire the views or enjoy their Halfway Tipple.
Apologies again you experienced this on your round.
There is no doubt that the front 9 on The Strand is very challenging, with the back 9 being a little more forgiving. Sorry to hear you did not enjoy the course.
Thank you for your comments about our pro shop team, i will be sure to pass this along to them.
We hope we can welcome you back to PGC in the future and leave a better impression next time.
Thank you for your feedback, we will be sure to take it on board.
Kind Regards
Kirsty

Went to join the Golf Club and the staff were incredibly unnecessary rude, especially a guy named Ian. I have been a member of golf clubs in the past. I would advise steering clear of this place - awful awful service and attitude. Ian should go on a customer service training course.

Really enjoyed it. Even the short par 4s were good holes.
Punishing rough but wide fairways. £30 for a junior a bit steep.
Could do with a bit of TLC in places.

Great Day out with golf society. Played the Riverview course. Tidy course not too long but with the wind in your face it’s hard enough. Rough is long so stay on the fairways. Plenty of hazards around the course as well. Afterward the staff looked after us well and the society food menu was reasonable. Food tasted nice but would have liked some veg with the sausages. Weather was great which helps make a day much better. Lovely club house too.

Good Morning Charlie,
Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback on your society day out.
The Riverside is indeed a wonderful course and so well suited to group outings. We are delighted you enjoyed it and hope we can welcome your society back again soon.
I have passed your lovely comments on to our team who i am sure will be delighted to hear.
Your feedback regarding your meal has also been passed along to our catering team, i know they are planning an update/upgrade on their society menu which hopefully will include some seasonal vegetables.
We hope to see you again soon for another society day out.
Kind Regards
Kirsty

Played yesterday and had one of the most enjoyable days of golf I’ve had in my life. The course was superb and the staff was great. One of the best parts was my caddy, Chris. Having Chris as my caddy made my experience far more enjoyable. He knew every inch of the course and was great to talk to during the round and gave me excellent advice throughout the day. It’s a round of golf I will remember for the rest of my life.

Depends on the time of year. Check their website. They have the Irish Open next summer so they might be higher than normal. Worth every penny!!!
