In June, 1993, a helicopter settled on the ground neighboring to the clubhouse and Nick Faldo went out of it. He fell under the charm and declared that he had never seen a course as this one.
With its strangely drawn fairways, it was the course which added a new meaning to the sentence: · 'a natural golf links'. It turns out that some months before Nick Faldo's visit, the club planned to enlarge the course.

Enniscrone Golf Club

The Enniscrone course gives an image of the life such as we imagine it in the past: chaotic dunes, powerful wind, clear sky and one of the most beautiful beaches of Ireland. The whole surrounded by the Nephin and Ox mountains which rest heavily against the sky. An idyllic context which allows to avoid daily life stress for some hours. When you walk on the fairways lawn, you feel such a thoughtlessness sensation in which two rounds seem to make one. The arrangement of the course, the way holes change direction, give an impression of elegance and quality.
Enniscrone is very known for its sunsets and is proud to be one of the most popular destinations of Ireland. We can find the 5 km long white sand beach, surrounded by dunes.
