Enniscrone Golf Club
A Rich Golfing Heritage
Originally designed by the legendary Eddie Hackett, Enniscrone’s reputation as a premier links course was further enhanced by the addition of six spectacular holes, masterfully crafted by renowned course architect Donald Steele. These new holes weave through the club’s mountainous dunes, elevating the layout to a world-class, 27-hole championship venue.
A Classic Links Challenge
Enniscrone’s Dunes Course follows the traditional links layout—‘nine out’ and ‘nine back’—embracing the natural flow of the land. Twelve of the eighteen holes are carved through massive, rugged dunes, offering a sense of isolation, tranquillity, and raw beauty.
With marram grass roughs, rolling fairways, and fast, undulating greens, the course demands precision, creativity, and resilience. The final four finishing holes, which hug the Atlantic coastline, provide an exhilarating climax to the round, testing even the most seasoned golfers.
Nestled on the scenic West Coast of Ireland in County Sligo, Enniscrone Golf Club is widely regarded as one of Ireland’s finest links courses. With towering sand dunes, breathtaking coastal views, and a true championship test, Enniscrone delivers an unforgettable golfing experience.
Set on a promontory extending into Killala Bay at the mouth of the River Moy Estuary, the course boasts one of the most stunning and natural settings in Irish golf. Here, golfers experience the uncompromised playing characteristics of traditional links golf, shaped by the ever-changing elements of the Atlantic.

"One of the best links courses in Ireland and a true hidden gem."
For Lowry, a man who grew up playing Ireland’s great links courses, Enniscrone embodies the natural beauty, challenge, and tradition that make Irish links golf so special.
