A Guide to Ireland Golf


 
 

Enniscrone Golf Club, Enniscrone, Co Sligo

Welcome to Enniscrone Golf Club. Situated beside the picturesque seaside town of Enniscrone, the golf course affords panoramic views of Killala Bay, Bartra Island and sandy beaches with Nephin and the Ox Mountains forming the backdrop.  Founded in 1918, redesigned by Eddie Hackett in 1974 and by Donald Steel in 2001, this championship course is one of Ireland's finest links courses. Apart from the championship links  known as The Dunes, there is also the splendid 9 hole Scurmore course.       

After the adventures through The Dunes or the Scurmore Course, the clubhouse is the ideal place to relax for refreshment and restore the energy levels. The recently refurbished Clubhouse and Restaurant offer a friendly and welcoming atmosphere with extensive views over the Course.

Enniscrone Golf Club has been listed in 12th place in Ireland in a new ranking of links courses. The latest list of Irelands top courses features in the 2008 Spring edition of Backspin magazine where Links/Shoreline courses are ranked separately to Parkland/Inland courses. This is the first time that this separation has taken place in ranking courses. Editor, Denis O Donoghue assembled a panel of 52 voters, Ryder Cup, Walker Cup and Curtis Cup players, championship winners, PGA Irish region competitors, members of the Irish golfing media and other Irish golf personalities. Each nominated their 15 favourite courses in the two categories. Points were awarded in descending order from 250 for a first choice to 50 for 15th choice. Well done to Enniscrone - now ranked number 3 of the North and West Coast Links Group.     

The clubhouse offers expansive locker room facilities for men and women with locker space for visiting golfers.

The Bar and Restaurant cater for large societies and presentations
