Enniscrone Golf Club
Enniscrone, Co. Sligo
Enniscrone is the most criminally underrated links in Ireland. It plays along Killala Bay on the north Mayo-Sligo border, through dunes of extraordinary scale, on a course that serious golf media has flagged as one of the great unknowns on the island. The green fees are modest, the crowds are non-existent by west coast standards, and the golf is world class. It belongs on every Irish golf itinerary and is almost never included on one.
Highlights
- Killala Bay duneland
- Exceptional value west coast links
- Specialist media favourite
Visitor Information
Getting There
Common questions
Why is Enniscrone considered so underrated?
Enniscrone sits at 15th in the 2026 Irish Golfer Top 100 — one of the most respected annual rankings of Irish courses — yet most international visitors have never heard of it. The duneland on Killala Bay is of extraordinary scale: the 14th and 16th holes route through towering dunes that are as dramatic as anything on the west coast. Green fees are modest and it never gets the crowds that Kerry or Clare attract. It's genuinely one of the best-value rounds in Ireland.
What are the best holes at Enniscrone?
The 16th is widely regarded as the signature hole: a par five framed by coastal dunes separating the fairway from the ocean, with a wide but very shallow green that makes club selection critical. The 14th plays through the biggest dunes on the course. The 15th — Stroke Index 1 — plays along the beach and is the hardest two-shot hole on the property.
How do I book Enniscrone Golf Club?
Enniscrone books directly through the club website — it does not use GolfNow. Tee time availability is generally good outside the summer peak.
What other courses should I combine with Enniscrone?
Rosses Point (County Sligo) is forty-five minutes north. Carne in Belmullet is ninety minutes north — one of the most remote and dramatic links in Ireland. Together, Enniscrone, Rosses Point, and Carne form the core Wild Atlantic Way links circuit in the west.
