Connemara Golf Links, Ballyconneely, Clifden, Co. Galway, Ireland

We went to Connemara Golf Links in Ballyconneely but played at the Championship Golf Links the next day. I was able to take a lot of photos though even before we played as the weather was really lovely.

The 360 degree views of Connemara Championship Golf Links surrounding Connemara Golf Club were simply fantastic.

Let me quote a lot of text from Connemara Golf Links how it describes the golf course. The following description was taken from the Website and the flyer of Connemara Golf Links.

On the Edge of Europe…

Nestled between the scenic splendour of the 12 Bens mountain range and the rugged Atlantic ocean, lies Connemara Golf Links. From the testing dog leg opening hole through to the breathtaking back 9, which have been acknowledged as the “equal to any in the world”, Connemara is an enduring monument to its designer Eddie Hackett.

Hackett graciously acknowledged that the rugged landscape of Connemara contributed greatly to the uniqueness of the design. His deft ability to enhance what nature presented him with results in a dramatic championship course, ready made to tempt those who savour beauty – and a beast!

The unveiling in the year 2000 of our new additional 9 holes hugging the sea shore adds a further dimension to the exhilarating Connemara golfing experience.

Gaze out on the Atlantic Ocean…

Connemara Golf Club’s magnificient new clubhouse, stonefaced using local connemara stone, overlooks the Atlantic ocean and offers 360 degree views of the beautiful course and the unique Connemara landscape.
