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.
A very enjoyable 2 rounds of golf in Carne. Really impressive links course in Belmullet which ticks all the boxes, scenery, golf, hospilitality and value. 2 great (but tough) rounds of golf but each hole holds a different view. Each one has a charm of its own and would be very tough if the winds were any stronger. Fabulous fairways, greens and tee boxes and a pleasure to play.
I have been lucky enough to play over 20 courses in Ireland over three trips there from the states. Carne is one of my favorite courses that I have played and that includes a few courses that have hosted the Irish Open. The people at Carne including Gerry and Fiona are some of the best people you will come in contact with anywhere in the world of golf. The course itself is a Hackett masterpiece, weaving through some of the best dunes in Ireland it feels like God laid out the course and Eddie just put in the tee boxes and greens. You have to play Carne if you are heading to Ireland for a golf trip, if you don't I promise that you will regret it.
