Carne Golf Course Restaurant & Bar in Belmullet

I’d say one of the best courses in Ireland!! Views are fantastic!!

What an amazing course, one of my favourite in Ireland. I will be back again soon to this hidden gem !!

I played Carne near the end of May during a busy event. Was on my bucket list for awhile and it did not disappoint. The course is wonderful, huge dunes that make you feel like you’re the only one out there even on busier days. It is a stunning track with some of the most scenic views anywhere. The greens were very good, fairways fast and brown after a spell of hot weather. Links golf as it should be and as I imagine it was years ago. What an experience. Not to be missed. Staff super helpful and friendly. Food in Clubhouse excellent. The seafood chowder was the best I had in Ireland as was the Guinness with very friendly staff. I can’t wait to go back.

Played here last week, facilities, staff and course 10/10, couldn’t fault it definitely will be back next season.

Travelled a long way to play this course, and was very hyped. The course layouts are fantastic, especially the Kilmore 9. The greens were super consistent and nice to putt on, I like that they were a little slower to account for the extreme wind. The members were very welcoming, and the staff in the bar were excellent. Where the criticism comes for me is from a service point of view on the golf operations side of things, and maybe I just had a bad day. I was initially overcharged 65 euro, with their system not acknowledging my deposit paid. I was then waiting for my playing partner to show up, standing by the putting green awaiting his arrival and it took me going into the shop to follow up only to find out the guy had cancelled and I was playing alone and free to go to the tee. Then, at the turn I was standing on the 10th tee whilst some lads had jumped onto the course in front of me, and once again I had to inform the guy in the shop of some trespassers who were affecting play. Maybe it was a bad day, we all have them, this was just my experience. My final issue was with some of the playing surfaces. Carne is known for being a bit wooly around the edges as a part of its charm, although tee surfaces that are basically sand, and tyre tracks killing the grass down to sand in the playing areas at the front of greens is an issue for me considering the price of admission.

What an absolutely magnificent golf course. A beautiful property carved into spectacular sand dunes that will more than challenge any golfer. Cormac was an amazing caddie and made the round that much more enjoyable. Carne is a must play if you are in County Mayo.

Stunning golf course, not for the faint hearted. Classic links layout with some beautiful holes. Friendly and helpful staff. All together a great visit.

Great Irish golfing experience.

Played this fab course for the first time this weekend. Every hole is unique. The views are amazing. Certainly a challenge. Called into the clubhouse for a pint and a bowl of soup after and I must say the staff in the bar and indeed the Pro Shop were very welcoming and so friendly. Will definitely be back to play one of the other courses.
