Go to Carne. Play both routings. Have a few pints on the porch over looking the dunes. Stay in Bellemullet and go to McDonnels. No Irish golf trip is complete without this spiritual links experience. The hospitality and conditioning were top notch. The links are wild running through dramatic dune land with ocean and farm views all around. If you love golf you simply must go to experience this magical place. Words will not do it justice. Special thanks to Jamie R., the international member who guided me around for the day. Great ambassador for Carne.Posted on Google![]()

Outstanding golf course and well worth the trip.
“In any string of words I might pen over the rest of my life, I might never write a more true sentence than this: Carne is absolutely brilliant. Front nine, back nine, every hole, every hill, every inch of the place is simply special.”
"The most unique golf experience I’ve ever had, by far, not even close…"
“The sand hills are massive, and the scenery is staggering…”
“the most astonishing, inspiring, natural course you are ever likely to see…”
“Carne 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.”
