The course is so beautiful, so scenic, she never got bored. The other great thing is you can play the Championship-level course. They offered the opportunity to play the course 4 days after the tourney, and with championship tees for £190. Awesome. I wished we had stayed longer, as you can get a whole week in the summer for £150. Fall and spring is £90 and winter is £60. Since it only gets into the mid 40s in the winter, I'll be back. Also, the Club did a great job with the Irish Open. The links course was immaculate and held up in the wind and the constant drizzle of rain.

Cost for a combined activities (ie soft play/Turbo Tours 4D film/ Treasure Fortress) family ticket could have been a little better than it was, and it would have been good to have been warned before hand that some activities in the Fortress were not working properly as it spoiled or enjoyment a bit when we discovered this for ourselves).One major gripe was, if a bit lacking in seating and also supervision from staff (yes, I know parents/carers are responsible for their own kids, but I still think there should also be an adequate staff presence and that they should rotate around areas regularly so as not to become bored/complacent in their duties). Oh and just remembered another gripe. Children had to leave the area the soft play was in and go across the main entrance/foyer area of the centre to access the toilets - not ideal. Also, after paying at the main reception, there wasn't actually any control system at the combined entrance/exit to the play area and anyone, children or adults, could come or go as they please - very, very, risky! That said, with a bit more attention to these safety/security issues, this could be an excellent place. Food available on site, some gift shops, and other activities all add to its plus points. Well worth taking the climb up the tower for lovely views from the top too.

It's also one of the dwindling number of north coast beaches to retain its blue flag status so if you don't fancy paddling in a weak sewage solution then choose this beach for your summer days out. This is my favourite thing about Portstewart Strand - you can drive your car on and park for the day. So no having to lug your pic nic, towels, buckets and spades from the car to the beach. Just open the car door and let it all fall out. If anyone gets cold or tired, they can just jump in the car and snuggle down for a while. You have to pay for what is definitely a privilege - just £4.50 to drive on and park for the day and if you go off season when the facilities are closed, you don't have to pay at all. I for one have no problem paying the National Trust £4.50 to park in a truly spectacular car park. So, the facilities - what exactly is there? Probably the best facilities I have seen at a beach anywhere in Northern Ireland. Clean toilets, showers and first aiders, as well as a shop where you can but sweets and drinks and last minutes buckets and spades. Join the National Trust, and I have promised myself I will this summer, and you can drive onto the beach as many times as you want without having to pay.
