Portstewart Golf Club

The proposed works include improvements to its acclaimed Championship Strand Course - which hosted the 2017 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open - and its Riverside Course. The works also include a new practice area with covered bays, new putting and chipping greens, and additional parking to accommodate visitors the Club welcomes during the busy periods.

Gravis is managing the planning application for the proposed development and the Pre-Application Community Consultation (PACC) process, which has involved engagement with local residents, the Club's members, and elected representatives to collect feedback.

With over 1,600 members, Portstewart Golf Club is one of the largest golf clubs in the UK and Ireland. It is also a major employer in the local area with excess of 60 staff and its courses attract over 10,000 visitors from the USA alone annually, contributing significantly to the local economy. The proposed modifications to the courses and upgrade of facilities will help the club to maintain and strengthen this position.
