Diamond Coast Hotel
Perched on the Wild Atlantic Way with sweeping views over Killala Bay, the Diamond Coast Hotel is just five minutes' walk from Enniscrone's beach and the centre of this laid-back coastal town. As Enniscrone's only four-star hotel, it's a smart base for a North West links break where you can play proper golf, eat well and still be close enough to town to wander out for a post-round pint.
Golf-wise, the location is the headline. The hotel looks across to Enniscrone Golf Club, a classic links set in big dunes and exposed to whatever the Atlantic feels like throwing at you. You will get firm turf, plenty of wind and a test that rewards solid ball-striking and sensible club selection. Even if you've come purely for the golf, the beach is worth your time, especially on a clear evening when the light drops over the bay.
Off the course, Enniscrone gives you the essentials without any fuss, with pubs, restaurants and a few shops within easy reach. If you fancy stretching the legs between rounds, the beach walk is an easy win. For a quick bit of sightseeing, St Muredach's Cathedral in nearby Ballina is well worth a short drive.
Who is this for?
Golfers or groups looking for a quality base to play Enniscrone and explore the North West coast, with comfortable four-star accommodation, sea views and easy access to both the course and the town.
Who is it best for?
Links enthusiasts who want to tick off a highly regarded natural test without the fuss, couples combining golf with coastal walks and good food, and societies after a proper Irish golf break with character and convenience.

Accommodation at Diamond Coast Hotel
The Diamond Coast Hotel keeps things simple in the best way. You get four-star comfort, friendly service and rooms that are geared towards golfers who want a good night's sleep and an easy run to the links. There are 95 spacious guest rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms, complimentary Wi-Fi, tea and coffee making facilities, a hairdryer and a TV. If you can, book a sea view room, waking up to Killala Bay is a lovely start before a morning tee time.
On the practical side, there's complimentary on-site parking, handy if you're arriving with clubs or travelling as a group, plus room service for the nights when you'd rather stay in after 36 holes. The hotel can also point you towards the Waterpoint Leisure and Sunset Spa around two kilometres away, ideal for a swim, a sauna session or a bit of recovery if you've overdone it on the dunes.
Food and drink is well covered. The Inishaven Bar is a comfortable spot for a post-round pint and a catch-up, while Stir Bistro is a good shout for something relaxed and straightforward. When you want to push the boat out, the Coral Restaurant focuses on local produce with polished service that still feels easy-going. The kitchen does a good job with what's available locally, the wine list is thoughtfully put together and the whole experience is sharp without being stuffy. It's the kind of place that makes you think about coming back for a second night, which is always a good sign.
The hotel strikes a nice balance between being smart enough to feel like a treat and relaxed enough that you don't feel out of place turning up in your golf gear. It's a proper golfers' hotel in the best sense, comfortable, convenient and built around the fact that you're here to play links golf and enjoy yourself. If you're building a trip for a couple or a group that wants a sociable base, it hits a good balance.
