Renowned for its beautiful sunsets, Enniscrone takes pride in being one of Irelands most popular seaside resorts and with these breathtaking views of mountain, sea and rolling countryside the links offerings are unforgettable.
Enniscrone has been host to the Irish Close in 1993 and West of Ireland Championships in 1997. It was Eddie Hackett the godfather of Irish designers who took it upon himself to design in 1974 another 9 holes extending the existing nine creating 18 holes from the links land that was played upon since 1918. Donald Steel added another 3 holes coupled with 6 reclaimed holes and the championship course you will experience today is an amalgamation of the best 27 holes that nature, Mr. Hackett and Mr. Steel have produced
Although it does not yet have the market presence or notoriety of its sisters Ballybunion or Waterville this classic links is fast becoming popular with many beating a path to the first tee. Here you will find challenging natural golf exposed to the fickle winds set against the Nephin and Ox mountains.

The history of Donegal can be traced back 9,000 years. Still to be seen throughout the countryside are pre-Christian tomb monuments, some form of Viking settlements, and early Christian monuments. Some of the best weavers in the world are located in Donegal, with this craft being passed down for generations.
In Donegal tradition runs deeper, rhythm is stronger, and the water is wilder than any other part in Ireland. With so many magnificent attractions and activities to experience, it is exhilarating and thrilling to take a holiday in this unspoiled environment.
