Connemara (Connemara Golf Course, Ballyconneely)
The par of 72 is rarely achieved on this spectacular 7,229 yard Atlantic links course. This could be influenced by the invigorating air and breathtaking scenery, but more probably due to the vastness of the last six holes and the shattered rocks that are dotted around the fairways. Greens set high in the hillside on the 14th and 15th can be unnerving, particularly after playing the most testing short 13th! Take time, however, to marvel at the splendid scenic backdrop of the Twelve Bens, etched against the skyline and Ballyconneely Bay, dusted with pure, white sand.
