Golf Course Review
Carne Golf Links lies on the edge of nowhere... well actually, it's in North Mayo, Ireland. While there is much talk about the Wild Atlantic Way, this definitely embodies the essence of that moniker. With views of the Atlantic and the islands of Inis Glóire and Inis Géidhe, there are 27 stunning holes on offer.
The Original Hackett Course
Eddie Hackett designed the original 18 holes known as the Hackett Course. This remote links would turn out to be his final design. The first nine opened in 1992, the second nine opened in 1993, and the clubhouse was completed in 1995.
The Kilmore & Dunes Course
Another 9 holes were added in 2013 and were known as The Kilmore 9. Recently, the nines were swapped with the back nine of the Hackett Course combined with the Kilmore 9 to produce the Dunes. The claim is this has created the largest dunes golf course in the world.

Eddie Hackett disdained hidden hazards and blind shots. Very seldom are they found in his designs. Simplistic in nature, his work left good enough alone the holes "God provided him."
