Connemara Golf A & B

Nestled between the scenic splendour of the 12 Bens mountain range and the rugged Atlantic ocean, lies Connemara Golf Links. From the testing dog leg opening hole through to the breathtaking back 9, which have been acknowledged as the "equal to any in the world", Connemara is an enduring monument to its designer Eddie Hackett.  His deft ability to enhance what nature presented him with results ìn a dramatic championship course.

Originally opened in 1973 as an 18 hole venue, Connemara Golf Links has offered 27 holes of sublime links golf since 2001, 3 nines which can be played in three different combinations. The course was originally designed by Eddie Hackett and completed by Tom Craddock.

Connemara Golf Links is a demanding course and one where the par of 72 is rarely achieved. This may be explained in part by the invigorating scenery but is more likely down to the demands imposed by the back nine holes in particular. Renowned for its difficult back to back par 5 finish, the links at Connemara offers a variety of tests to excite lovers of the links game. From a tight dogleg opener, through a treacherous par 3, 6th, to a roller coasting closing nine holes, this links is a delight to behold. The famous 13th is a testing par 3 over 200 yards in length, while the 15th has its green camped in the hills and can only be attacked by aerial assault. The green at the 16th is guarded by water and then you must confront the lengthy final two holes. A fitting finish to a great experience on a superb links!
