Enniscrone
Carne Connemara Links
Enniscrone Golf Links( Co. Sligo): Enniscrone( also spelled Inniscrone) is a lively, true links with expansive dunes and beachside outlooks. It’ s approachable in feel but devilish in detail: dramatic bunkers, undulating fairways and greens that demand careful thought. The town of Enniscrone is a great complement to a round— with beaches and local hospitality that make it ideal for groups wanting a relaxed linksfocused trip. The overall experience is convivial and authentically west-coast.
Carne Golf Links( Co. Mayo): Perched on Mayo’ s far western fringe, Carne feels as though it has been carved directly from the Atlantic’ s imagination. Towering dunes frame fairways that shift beneath skies in constant motion, where light and shadow transform by the minute. Its remoteness is part of the allure, a journey rewarded with sweeping ocean views, raw landscapes, and holes that weave across vast, sandy terrain. Carne challenges golfers to be inventive and rewards those who know how to read the land. Many consider it the most authentic embodiment of west coast links golf, rugged and unspoiled.
Connemara Golf Links( Co. Galway): Connemara is coastal, wild and resonant with the Gaelic character of its landscape. Sweeping dunes and salt-sprayed air create a moody, elemental backdrop. The course emphasizes ground play and imagination; many holes are best approached with bump-and-run tactics, using the firm turf to work the ball. Connemara is less about manicured perfection and more about the honest, weathershaped game links golf originally celebrated.
