Ranked among the top 8–14 golf courses in Ireland (depending on the source), and consistently placed within the top 50 courses across the UK and Ireland.
At Carne, we take real pride in ensuring every visitor enjoys their time with us. We genuinely love being part of this place — and while the recognition is appreciated, it’s the experience we deliver that matters most.
Carne is renowned for its hospitality, and we were the first Golf Course in Southern Ireland to receive the Irish Golf Tour Operators Association Quality Assurance Mark for golf courses in Ireland in 2020.
“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.”
