The Old Course is an institution in its own right; the front 8 holes are perched along the rocky shore, east of Portstewart town on the Portmore Road heading to Portrush with the back 10 on the landward side.

A great wee track especially good for groups, holidaymakers and golfers just starting out. Walk the historic fairways that have been tracked since 1894. The original 9 holes were laid out on 26 acres of land belonging to the Cromore Estate, on the seaward side of the County Road to Portrush at Portmore, east of the town. Unfortunately no map of the layout survives but the length was given in the Irish Golfers’ Annual of 1897 as 1,495 yards. In June of 1904 an extension to this ground provided a more challenging nine holes and led to the employment of our first professional green keeper, David Simpson. In 1934 the Course was further enhanced to 18 holes, designed by Mr. R. C. Davison together with James Rea, the green keeper at the time. The layout was similar, in most respects, to that of the present day Course.
