Enniscrone
Enniscrone is close to 100 years old and the changes made by Donald Steel , in 2001 , have given Enniscrone a whole new lease of life . The club was awarded the IGTOA Golf Course of the Year , in 2008 . Given how exceptional this links course is , it is a worthy and well deserved recognition . This is big dune country overlooking Killala Bay ( and one of Ireland ’ s most beautiful beaches ) and it is a course that demands your full attention and an awful lot of admiration . The fairways constantly mirror the shaggy dunes they run through , promising unpredictability , while the perfect greens promise all kinds of dangers around their pristine putting surfaces . You ’ ll encounter some startling blind shots and several unbelievable holes . The stretch from 12 to 17 is utterly captivating and you will be tossed around by the constant swell of the landscape to the point you ’ ll feel dizzy . Combined with Carne , Co . Sligo and Strandhill , links golf doesn ’ t get better or more beautiful than this .
