Unbelievable course!! Standing on the first tee you think it's like any of links, nothing special. But as you walk to your ball and look up into the dunes where the green is located you know this is going to be good and it only gets better and as you go deeper into your round and deeper into the dunes. I would rate this a better links course than Old Portmarnock. Incredible experience and highly recommended. Only negative was the food service in the clubhouse had finished when we'd finished our round but we found a nice restaurant and bar in the town 2min drive which took walk ins so no big deal...
The golf course at Enniscrone Golf Club dates back to 1918. Starting out as a 9 hole links course, the course saw its fortunes and rankings dramatically improve following the work of Eddie Hackett who turned Enniscrone into an 18 hole course in 1974. Donald Steel went further in adding another 9 holes to allow for 27 holes of golf to be enjoyed within this natural links landscape. Enniscrone has been a regular within the Top 100 Golf Course rankings not only in Ireland (13th) but also within the UK and Ireland (63rd) and is a must play when visiting the North West of Ireland.
Considered by many to be located in one of the best areas of links land anywhere in the world, the terrain and dunes which frame not only the Championship Links course (Dunes) but also the newer 9 (Scurmore) make for a memorable visit to any golf tour of the Sligo and Donegal area.
Located less than an hour from both Sligo and Knock, golfers heading here are spoilt for choice when putting together a list of golf courses of the very purest links golf experience.
