Connemara Isles Golf Club is located in the heart of the Conamara
Gaeltacht. This distinctive island course offers a unique opportunity
to play golf on the edge of the Atlantic ocean while enjoying
the breathtaking views of Cill Chiaráin Bay, Cnoc Leitir
Móir and Cnoc Mordáin.
This 9 hole golf course is a golfers gem. Playing the first
9 holes is a challenge, however playing the back 9 tees is a
memory.
After the game relax in the friendly atmosphere of Irelands
only thatched club house and experience the magical beauty of
the Irish language.
Architecturally designed and constructed by Irish international
and walker cup player the late Tom Craddock and architect Pat
Ruddy, who also co-designed the world famous course at Druids
Glen.
Established in 1993, this charming and challenging course is
set in tranquil links at Eanach Mheáin. The flora and
fauna of the course provide a colourful backdrop to a magnificent
golf course. A causeway from the mainland brings an island into
play where ocean inlets and rocky outcrops provide natural hazards
demanding steady nerves.
However, there is a great solitude and serenity here in this
peaceful and unpolluted world apart. The Connemara Isles Golf
Club has played host to many well known golfers among them is
Christy O’ Connor Junior and Senior and Bob Cameron Senior
PGA European Tour.
