Carnalea Golf Club

Well kept fairways and greens, though very wet when I played at the end of March. Fairways not too narrow so you usually have a second shot even if you are lacking accuracy off the tee. Some of the par three are pretty tough. Great views of the sea along the front nine. Had no problem getting right on, though it was a weekday at the end of March.

This is a short but challenging links/woodland course. The front 9 are links and the back 9 more woodland. The scenery is awesome and the signature 9th par 3 is a fabulous little hole. The wind plays a big part in this course and having played it several times, it rarely plays the same. The greens, which are well maintained literally play differently every day. They are very hard to read but as rule, they break to the sea. Green fees are very reasonable and play is brisk. This is a wonderful little course that has everything: challenging links holes that demand a creative short game and woodland holes that demand straight play off the tee and accurate iron play. A delight and great value.
