Course Description and History:
"I am thrilled with the way the dramatic Carne course has turned out, and again, I reiterate my first opinion that ultimately there will be no better links course in the country, or I doubt anywhere."
   Eddie Hackett - architect of Carne Golf Links -

Carne was the last links course to be designed by the late Eddie Hackett and is now believed by many who have played there to be his greatest challenge. Carne lies in the splendid sand dunes overlooking Blacksod Bay, the legendary Inis Geidhe and Inis Gluaire Islands and dramatic Achill. The building of Carne has caused little disturbance to this wild and ancient landscape. Tees and greens occurred naturally and very little earth moving was involved in the course construction.

Towering dunes and rugged landscapes have become somewhat of a cliché in describing links courses but at Carne, the terms seem almost inadequate to say the least. Valleys swing past high dunes, fashioning the most natural, isolated fairways imaginable, while countless mounds host many tees and plateau greens, which afford lovely views of the pristine coastline and adjacent farmland. Right from the first hole a par 4, doglegging 90 degrees to the right, with a green set on a little ledge, great golf holes come thick and fast. There is quite a degree of blindness, while the nines are delightfully contrasting. The outward journey is set against the backdrop of Blacksod Bay, while the homeward loop with some huge dunes, winds its way out to the Atlantic coastline and back again.
