Play Enniscrone Golf Club in north west Ireland and experience some of the most dramatic dunes in Irish links golf

When it comes to a true and authentic links golf experience on an Ireland golf trip, then look no further than Enniscrone Golf Links on the west coast of Ireland.
One of Ireland's most traditional links golf courses, Enniscrone presents 27 holes on 400 acres of magnificent links land, featuring the par 73 Dunes Championship Links Course. The Dunes is one of Ireland’s top-ranked championship links courses and regularly features highly in the course rankings of many golf publications.

This year marks 100 years of links golf at Enniscrone. Located in County Sligo on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way, Enniscrone fits nicely on a golf itinerary that includes other notable courses such as County Sligo Golf Club (Rosses Point),  Strandhill and Carne Golf Links in Belmullet, Co. Mayo.
In 1999, the club asked renowned golf course designer Donald Steel to redesign the course, the brief being to take it into the biggest dunes. Ridges of sand rise 200 feet above the valleys and the hollows which Steel managed to incorporate seamlessly with the earlier design work or Irish course designer Eddie Hackett. Some of Ireland’s best golf holes are to be found at Enniscrone. Notwithstanding the excellent work by Steel, the quirky 12th and 13th designed by Hackett are two of the best par fours, while the 10th and 11th are also Hackett's work, the 11th being regarded by many as the best of the course’s par threes.
