Carne Golf Links

Carne Golf Links at Belmullet occupies one of the most dramatic settings in Irish golf, laid out across wild duneland on the Belmullet Peninsula in northwest Mayo. The course runs through towering sand dunes on terrain that is raw, elemental and entirely unlike the manicured links of Ireland's more visited coastlines. The exposed position means the Atlantic wind is a constant factor, demanding creative shot selection and an ability to adapt to conditions that can change within the span of a single hole. Carne's remoteness is integral to its appeal: reaching it is part of the experience, and golfers who make the journey invariably return with a profound sense of having played somewhere genuinely exceptional.
