County golf guide
Mayo
Mayo is a superb golf county for players who like wild scenery, Atlantic air, and courses that feel connected to the landscape around them.
The county has a strong mix of links, coastal, and parkland golf. Carne is the headline for many visitors, but Westport, Ballina, Castlebar, Achill Island, and other clubs give Mayo real depth.
For open competitions, Mayo is worth following because it offers a mix of destination golf and accessible local clubs, often with excellent value and a strong sense of place.
Must play
Carne Golf Links
Carne is Mayo's must play, a wild and dramatic links course shaped by huge dunes, Atlantic wind, and a setting that feels genuinely remote and special.
Recommended
Westport Golf Club
Westport is a recommended stop for golfers who want scenic parkland golf, good facilities, and a course that fits naturally into a west of Ireland golf trip.
