Get West. Try out magnificent Galway (Salthill), Ballinrobe, Carne and Enniscrone. What a trip that would make.

markymac

Haven't really ever counted. Have played a lot, but nothing in those numbers. Name the portugese ones, I've played the following over there:
Laguna
Pinhal
Vila Sol
Millennium
The Old Course
Victoria

daconn

Looked in the G's...... have you not played Glasson yet.

Play off the whites..... totally different course.

If ye can, play it before the European challenge tour event there in July, rough is about 4 inches. I played it last year, and boy was it difficult when set up for a tournament

Matt Santos

This got me thinking and it is unbelievable the amount of courses that I have played when I sat down to think about it!
With only the Leinster total already I am up to 55!! And I have yet to play a round in County Longford!!
I have lived for a while in Dublin and played a lot os society golf in my early years but it seems I have played in 16 courses alone in the County of Dublin.
And I have played most of my golf in the last 10 years while living in Munster..

Too lazy to type them all out..............

79 is an impressive total - one other thing it goes to show is how many golf clubs there are in Ireland - particularily in Dublin and neighbouring counties.

For the record at about 34 myself - 17 in county dublin and 17 outside couty dublin. A few Dublin ones on my list not on yours - Donabate, Hollystown, Castle, Miltown, Roganstown, Slade Valley, Luttrellstown, Portmarnock and Beaverstown.

Forgot about Roganstown thanks for that one.

I remember that place been long. Every par 4 seemed over 400yards

eagle eye

I will give you my list for the West in order and by county.

Galway,

Ballyconneely(connemara), Galway Golf Club, Portumna, Outhterard, Loughrea, Athenry, Galway Bay, Gort. These are all good courses, Ballyconneely is exceptional as is Salthill and Portumna is a hidden gem.

Mayo,

Carne(Belmullet), Ballinrobe, Westport, Claremorris, Ballyhaunis(9 hole, but really good), Castlebar. Carne is exceptional and I think everybody should play this at least once. Ballinrobe has a nice layout and is very enjoyable. Westport is also a really good course.

Roscommon,

Roscommon Golf Club, Athlone Golf Club. These two used to be the other way around but Athlone changed their course and made a mess of it. Always check Roscommon before you go to see if its open and it does not seem to take kindly to heavy rain. Athlone to me is now only for very low handicappers and its become too difficult to play. I play off nine and to nine or above it on most courses and find it ridiculous.

Leitrim,

Carrick-on-Shannon, the only one in Leitrim worth talking about and a very nice course. A good test and some daunting holes.

Sligo,

Tied first and in alphetical order, Enniscrone and Rosses Point(Sligo Golf Club), two outstanding courses. Strandhill is also worth a look. But the first two are in the top five in the west along with Ballyconneely, Salthill and my own personal numero uno is Carne.

There are also some fantastic courses in Donegal, but I'll leave them to someone else.

Edit to say that I have played every course in connacht except connemara isles but I only entered the ones I really like and have no problem paying to play on.
Second edit to add in Westport which I forgot until I was going through the next post.
That course in Tipperary that I forgot the name of is Dundrum, a really nice course.

eagle eye

Black Bush, Headfort both courses, Carton House, Portmarnock, The Island, The K club, Hermitage, The European, Baltinglass, Powerscourt, The Heritage, Luttrellstown Castle, Carton House, Druids Glen, Birr, Tullamore, Glasson, Longford, Moate, Mullingar, Esker Hills, Westmanstown, Mountrath, Newlands, Mount Juliet, Kilkenny, Carlow, Faithlegg, Waterford, Mount Wolsely, Fota Island, Cork, Old Head, Kinsale, Mallow, Fermoy, Killarney(all), Tralee, Ballybunion, Dromoland Castle, Lahinch, Doonbeg, East Clare, Ballyconneely, Salthill, Bearna, Oughterard, Galway Bay, Portumna, Athenry, Loughrea, Ballinsloe, Curraghwest, Mountbellew, Tuam, Dunmore, Ardnacong, Glenlo Abbey, Ashford Castle, Ballinrobe, Claremorris, Castlebar, Ballyhaunis, Westport, Mulranny, Belmullet, Achill, Ballina, Swinford, Gort, Roscommon, Athlone, Strokestown, Castlerea, Ballaghdereen, Carrick on Shannon, Enniscrone, Co. Sligo, Ballymote, Tubbercurry, Strandhill, Bundoran, Ballyliffin, Rosapenna, Letterkenny, Gweedore, Rossmore, Clones, Slieve Russell, County Cavan. I'm sure I have forgetten a couple and theres one really good course and I cannot remember the name of it, its in Tipperary, edit when I remember it if i do. Thats just in the Republic by the way, not including northern Ireland, or abroad.

Eagle Eye - have you played Cregmore (just outside Galway) - nice new course - will take a little time to mature (bit exposed if windy). Also interesting comments on Athlone - are those changes recent? - played a couple of years ago and didn't find it that difficult.

eagle eye

I haven't got to play Creggmore yet, heard a lot about it before it opened, and I do intend to play it, but I might wait a year or so until I get good reports about it.
As regards Athlone, they started to change their course about four years ago, doing something like 6 holes at a time. They had one of the best courses in Connacht before they messed with it, it was the old guard as far as I know that wanted these changes so that they could get some of the really big tournaments down there. Well thats what a friend of mine who is a member there told me about it.
I have played it five times since they started changing it and I think that its become so tough that high handicappers have no chance of posting a decent score on the course. Two years ago during open week, I shot 35 points and finished second, the weather was beautiful, the standard was 31 on the day. I think that says it all, I have heard of decent, consistent high handicappers failing to break the twenty point mark, and I played a good game on it one day, and finished with 23 points without any wild shots, that par 3 cost me, it was playing 220 yards from the tee and the green was rock hard, I suppose the likes of Tiger Woods would appreciate it, but no mere mortal nine handicapper had a hope of landing it on the green that day and stopping it before it went off the back and into the pond. Oh and if you are short you are in water as well.

Just as a note,

I played Cregmore last weekend. Nice layout with fantastic greens.

Considering the course is open since last June it's amazing for the greens to be this good. It was wet last weekend but the greens were dry, solid and rolling true.

I'd have to class it as a bit on the easy side though, generous fairways allowed a hacker like me to score 42 points.:)

Cheers for the info on Athlone.

I agree with the previous poster on Cregmore - (played it last month) - the greens were excellent. I can imagine on a nice calm day it would play very easy at the moment - a lot of the trees are newly planted and not much of a hazard - also the rough is negligible in places at the moment (they really need to let it grow!).

Starts with an easyish par 5 followed by a par 3 and another easyish par 5. The day we played the wind was blowing a bit so think it was the 14, 15 & 18 were tough par 4's into the wind

Here is my smallish list

Dublin Area:
Grange Castle, Knockally, Elm Green, Kilkea Castle,

Munster Area:
Mitchelstown, Fermoy, Youghal, Castlemartyr Resort, East Cork, Water Rock, Mahon Point, Adare Manor, West Waterford, Rafeen Creek, Habour Point,


A few I can't think of 1) a course outside of Navan heading for Kentstown?
2) A public course outside of Dunboyne?

I will give you my list for the West in order and by county. Good idea

My favourites list

Galway Golf Club, Athenry, Gort, Tuam. IMHO Ballyconneely is only for yanks - green fees get treated adbysmally. Oughterard is not amongst my list at all - enough said. Tuam included as both members and staff are very friendly.

Mayo,

Ballinrobe, Westport, Castlebar, Ballyhaunis (9 hole, but really good), Ballina (short but tricky), Achill (for fun - watch the sheep dont eat your balls (golf) !!!!). Never played Carne.

Roscommon,

Castlerea.

Leitrim,

None played.

Sligo,

Tied first and in alphetical order, Enniscrone and Rosses Point(Sligo Golf Club), two outstanding courses. Strandhill is also worth a look - agreed totally - class. class. class.

Top Five: Ballinrobe, Enniscrone, Rosses Point, Galway

Other best: Adare Manor, Portmarnock, Lahinch, Mount Juliet, K Club, Glasson

I cant believe people dont talk about the Slieve Russell here at all???

Its a cracking course, kept lovely and normally quite due to low membership.

The only downside is that it is just over 2 hours away from Dublin....

I think your last sentence explains your first!

Mayo
Ballinrobe - good course, joined there this year, generous fairways so you can use driver most holes without getting into much trouble
Castlebar - very busy course, hard to get out there, the par 5 3rd is only a long par 4 but great greens and can get into trouble there often unless you are driving well
Mulranny - Nice 9 hole - Greens are all fenced off to keep cows and sheep away
Westport - Great course and fairly easy to get out in, 1st 6 holes are mundane enough but when you cross the path the last 12 are great
Carne - My favourite course of all, back 9 as good as you will play anywhere. The 17th is the toughest hole I have played, have yet to par it
Claremorris- Didnt like it, need to know course well, you can stitch a wood down the fairway and then walk along and find you are in a stream, however have played it over the winter and the course holds up very well compared to other courses

Sligo
Strandhill - Loved it but might not be challenging enough for low handicappers
Rosses Point - Good but overrated compared to Enniscrone and Carne
Enniscrone - Magnificent

Galway
Salthill - Great course - but found the members to be very snobby there
Cregmore - Good greens but worry about them going out of business, looking for 7500 joining fee which is outrageous, played it a few sundays ago and there was about 20 people out on a fine day. They need to cop on and realise that they wont get that type of money anymore
Athenry - Fantastic clubhouse - but annoying American Ranger - course was in great nic
Portumna - Lovely lovely course, great value in green fees as well
Oughterard - Average
Ballyconneely - Very tough, some great holes
Barna - Nice in summer bog in winter


Woodstock - Liked this very reasonable green fees too
Roscommon - Useless in wet weather, would say it would be ok in good weather
Athlone - Agree with Eagle Eye, way too difficult
Esker Hills - enjoyed it but will bring a buggy the next time
Limerick - Lightning greens when I played it

Well its far from funny. Went out to play one early morning, extremely hungover and probably still drunk. We wer told the 5th tee box was closed off and to tee from the start of the fairway. As we walked down the 2nd fairway we could look accross to the vicinity of the 5th tee where we could see a few police and a dangling body from a tree.... they were just standing there looking at him and weren't making any moves to take him down. I think it was due to the fact that i was still drunk from the night before that it only really hit home that afternoon as to what we had saw...

Green Monkey is spectacular and unbelievable. Course is shaped out of a mine and the views are awesome. The course is extremely well manicured probably due to the fact that at the time they were only letting residents of the hotel play and only between 8-9 in the morning. There are so many elevated tee shots or tee shots between the sides of the mines or over the corner of the mines. Its just a special golf course in a special place.

Extremely small list (but hey, I've never been a member, and at present am only a very casual golfer)

Mayo:
Ballyhaunis(9), Ballinrobe, Claremorris, Ashford Castle.
Galway:
Connemara, Cregmore, Loughrea, Glenlo Abbey(9)
Cork:
Fota Island, Kinsale, Water Rock, Monkstown

Hoping to become a distance member of Ballyhaunis in January, as its my home town course, and the one I play the most when I get home to visit the parents, so should get the value out of it, and not be annoyed if I only have time to play 9.

Glad to see a few people have recommended it, and I agree, its a lovely course that holds up well to the bad weather. Hopefully at some point in the future they might extend it to 18.
