Mount Falcon Estate.
Signature Hole: Hole 13 (Aodh), 482 metres,
par-5. There are arguably other holes at Carne
that deserve the signature hole monniker, but
for sheer atmosphere, this second of the three
par-5’s on the back nine takes some beating. It
requires three good blows to reach the green
situated at the furthest point of the course
right by the sea. This is the spot to pause for a
moment to take in the wild, yet serene coastal
landscape of white sandy beach and turquoise
waters.
