Carne Golf Links

Set in magnificent, unspoilt sand dunes stretching 150m above sea level, with breathtaking views of the Atlantic across Blacksod Bay and the legendary islands of Inis Glóire and Inis Géidhe. The course features eighteen amazing holes designed by the late Eddie Hackett, and true to his philosophy for respecting the natural landscape, the tees and greens occurred naturally and very little earth moving was involved in the course construction. Carne was the last course designed by Hackett and many say it is his most challenging. When Eddie was designing Carne he always said that the most dramatic part of the dunescape at Carne should be developed into another course. Sadly he did not live to see his vision realised. It was 2013 before a further nine holes were opened on land described by Eddie Hackett as the most dramatic part of the dunescape at Carne. The Kilmore Nine, designed by Jim Engh and Ally McIntosh, was developed in line with Hacketts’ ethos of respect for the natural landscape, and they integrate seamlessly with the original Hackett course.
