LOUGH ERNE (the faldo championship course) Co. Fermanagh

Designed by 6 time major winner Nick Faldo, Lough Erne is a 7,167 yard par 72 course with a spectacular setting. There are stunning views from every hole with the waters of the Lough coming into play on 11 holes. Fairways are link courses on a truly exceptional inland course.

BALLYLIFFIN GOLF CLUB Co. Donegal

Ballyliffin boasts two championship links courses “The Old Links” and “Glashedy Links”. It is Donegal’s most northerly golf club and is renowned for its hospitality, spectacular setting and outstanding presentation standards all year round. Both courses offer a stern test measuring 6,937 yards and 7,220 yards respectively.

SLIGO GOLF CLUB (ROSSES POINT) Co. Sligo

Another one of Ireland’s great championship links and has hosted most of Ireland’s major championships in its long and venerable history. Three large beaches beneath the cliffs keep the Atlantic Ocean at bay as Benbulben Mountains competes with the ocean for scenic splendor on the land side. Many believe Rosses point offers the finest 18 holes in the country.

ROSAPENNA GOLF COURSECo. Donegal

Is home to two championship links courses (Sandy Hills and Old Tom Morris) in one stunning coastal location. Sandy Hills is in many ways the ideal of a modern golf links. Intended for the serious golfer, its narrow fairways appear constricting from the tee, but the landing areas sculpted from the dunes are deceptively wide. This really is a spectacular course.

ENNISCRONE THE DUNES GOLF CLUB Co. Sligo

Among the finest and most challenging traditional Irish links courses. Enniscrone offers 27 holes on 400 acres of magnificent links lands, featuring the par 73 Dunes Championship Links Course. The Dunes has quietly become one of Ireland’s top ranked championships links.

CARNE GOLF LINKSCo. Mayo

Carne in North Mayo on the West Coast of Ireland lies in magnificent unspoiled sand dunes overlooking Blacksod Bay and the Atlantic Ocean near the town of Belmullet. The course was the last links course to be designed by the late Eddie Hackett and it is now believed by many to be his greatest challenge. The course measures 6,119 yards and is a par 73.
