About the club
Undisturbed mountainous dunes in the tiny town of Belmullet in County Mayo, a five-hour drive from Dublin, created a stunning pallet for Eddie Haskett to design one of Ireland’s best hidden gems. Haskett employed local farmers with shovels and rakes to ensure the dunes wouldn’t be disturbed, and eight years later, the first nine holes opened. A year later, a second nine was added. Jim Engh discovered Carne and added nine additional holes over a decade ago, giving this incredible setting 27 holes to reward those who make the journey.

Go to Carne. Play both routings. Have a few pints on the porch over looking the dunes. Stay in Bellemullet and go to McDonnels. No Irish golf trip is complete without this spiritual links experience. The hospitality and conditioning were top notch. The links are wild running through dramatic dune land with ocean and farm views all around. If you love golf you simply must go to experience this magical place. Words will not do it justice. Special thanks to Jamie R., the international member who guided me around for the day. Great ambassador for Carne.

What an unbelievable place. Gerry is a great host and the golf course is very special. Try to play it with somebody that has played it before to get the full experience. Dinner and drinks were top notch to cap off a wonderful day at Carne. I'll be back.

Played @ Carne Golf Links a few days over the last week. SPECTACULAR links course, and I've played alot of them in Ireland and Scotland. Incredible sight lines. Course in great condition thanks to excellent greenskeeping work after a tough weather winter and spring. Very good. The staff, members, and people at Carne are incredible. Much thanks to them for their kind welcome. Don't miss the seafood chowder and a great pint of Guinness in the clubhouse after. Definitely on my "must return to play" list.
