Ballinrobe Golf Club occupies a sheltered parkland site on the shores of Lough Mask — one of the great trout and coarse fishing lakes of the west, stretching fifteen kilometres through south Mayo. The course is straightforward and affordably priced, with lakeshore views providing a quiet backdrop to a relaxed round. Ballinrobe is five minutes from Cong, where John Ford filmed The Quiet Man in 1951 (released 1952), and ten minutes from Ashford Castle — one of the most celebrated hotels in Ireland. Neither requires a long detour, and both are worth including in the same day as a round here.

Common questions
What is Ballinrobe Golf Club like?
Ballinrobe is a parkland course on the shores of Lough Mask — limestone lake country on the edge of Connacht. It's relaxed, well-priced, and close to Cong and Ashford Castle. A good choice if you're combining golf with the south Mayo lakelands, or just want a peaceful round away from the coast.
Is Ballinrobe near Ashford Castle?
Yes — Ashford Castle, one of Ireland's most celebrated five-star hotels, is in Cong about ten minutes from the course. The combination of golf at Ballinrobe and an afternoon or dinner at Ashford Castle is a natural pairing for golfers who want to combine high-end hospitality with accessible parkland golf without paying Ashford Castle golf resort prices.
