Carne golf club Ireland

Carne Golf Links

Location:- Belmullet County Mayo

18 holes Par 72, Length: 6119 Metres

Founded: 1992 Course Architect: Eddie Hackett

Carne Golf Links was the last links golf course to be designed by the late Eddie Hackett and is now believed by many who have played there to be his greatest challenge.

It is one of the finest golf courses to have opened in recent years, and it can only be described as a hidden gem. Situated on the west coast of Ireland, Carne lies in the splendid sand dunes overlooking Blacksod Bay, the legendary Inis Geidhe and Inis Gluaire Islands and dramatic Achill.

When Carne Golf Links was built it caused little disturbance to the ancient landscape, the tees and the greens occurred naturally and very little earth was moved during the course construction.

With its breathtaking views and great design Carne Golf Links is the ideal course to play. If you are thinking of taking a golf break in Ireland why not fly into Knock Airport, approximately 130 kilometres away and play this course.

Carne Golf Club is one of the great golf courses of the British Isles" Ron Crowley "Links" Golf Magazine.

"If I were limited to one course for the rest of my days, this would be it" ..........Keith Ging The Express November 20th 1999.

"This was, for me, not merely the golfing highlight of my trip. Instead I felt that I knew how Livingstone felt when he discovered Victoria Falls. With vast dunes, unbelievable scenic views of neighbouring Blacksod Bay and islands, the place combines tranquillity, beauty and golfing nirvana.

The final word on Carne is best left to it's creator. Eddie Hackett said "I am thrilled with the way the dramatic Belmullet course has turned out, and again I reiterate my first opinion that ultimately there will be no better links golf course in the country or I doubt anywhere". It would be great to believe that we could all leave as beautiful a signature on the world when we depart as he managed to do. ......Michael Pask "Golf International" Oct. - Nov. 1999

"..Carne Golf Course is, quite simply, the most stunning "discovery" I have made in golf . Even the impressive reports I heard about the place hadn't prepared me for the splendor of the terrain". ..........Dermot Gileece "Irish"Times"

"A great ocean, deep deep valleys and unrestricted panoramas in every direction are further attributes which conspire to enchant the visiting golfer"........Richard Phinney - "Links of Heaven"

"From the 1st tee to the 18th green it is all that one could ever yearn for "..........James W. Finnegan Emerald Fairways and Foam Flecked Seas.
