Carne Golf Links, situated on the West Coast of Ireland in North Mayo, lies in unspoiled sand dunes overlooking the Wild Atlantic Ocean.
Carne Golf Links (Belmullet Golf Club) lies on the remote and rugged Mullet Peninsula. It is along the Wild Atlantic Way, in the North West of County Mayo, Ireland. It is an area renowned for its’ wild and ancient landscape.
The course is set in magnificent, unspoilt sand dunes stretching 150m above sea level. There are breathtaking views of the Atlantic across Blacksod Bay and the legendary islands of Inis Glóire and Inis Géidhe. The course features eighteen amazing holes designed by the late Eddie Hackett. True to his philosophy for respecting the natural landscape, the tees and greens occurred naturally and very little earth moving was involved in the course construction. Carne was the last course designed by Hackett and many say it is his most challenging.
The back nine of the Hackett 18 integrates with the newer Kilmore Nine course, creating the Wild Atlantic Dunes course, which is arguably the most spectacular links course in Ireland. Raw and untamed, with increased drama as the holes weave their way through the awe inspiring corners of the dune system. It is arguably the biggest dunes course in the world. Carne offers traditional raw links golf at its very best in a truly unique and idyllic golfing location, an experience not to be missed.
Rated in the top 50 Golf Courses in the UK and Ireland, and in the top 8-14 golf courses within Ireland, depending on the ranking originators.
Carne Golf Links encapsulates the whole golf experience that Ireland has to offer and really does rival some of the great links courses in the world. It is a must play for any avid golfer.
If you are thinking of taking a golf vacation in Ireland, why not venture to the West of Ireland and play Carne, along with some of the other great links golf courses the North & West has to offer.
