Carne Golf Links

Undisturbed mountainous dunes in the tiny town of Belmullet in County Mayo, a five-hour drive from Dublin, created a stunning pallet for Eddie Haskett to design one of Ireland’s best hidden gems. Haskett employed local farmers with shovels and rakes to ensure the dunes wouldn’t be disturbed, and eight years later, the first nine holes opened. A year later, a second nine was added. Jim Engh discovered Carne and added nine additional holes over a decade ago, giving this incredible setting 27 holes to reward those who make the journey.
