Review of Enniscrone (the Dunes) links golf course, county Sligo, Republic of Ireland

If you're looking for a great lesser know golf course in Ireland then this will thrill you. Even Ireland's own Shane Lowry when asked about a great lesser know golf course in Ireland this was his pick. This is a 18 hole, par 73, links style course. This course is surrounded by the river Moy on 1 side and the Atlantic on the other. So we have some pretty dramatic interactions with the dunes
On the same 400 acres is the 9 hole Scurmore golf course.

Wow, what a treat to see this!
I was a member of Enniscrone GC for a number of years back in the early 2000's as I had a small holiday cottage around 5k away.
Being a high handicapper who started golf later in life I found it a beast of a course but also magical in a way and it will always be my favorite course. I spent many happy days in the wind and rain alone on the course, hacking my way out of those deep valleys, but when I did manage to find the fairway I felt like an open champion.
Unfortunately I don't think you show the par three 8th, where I got my one and only 'hole in one' in a club competition.
Still it was lovely to see the old girl again and although I haven't played golf for years now (some would argue I never did!) it would be lovely to play a round one more time in the wind and rain when nobody else is out.
Maybe I will after watching this?? Thank you so much for uploading 😊
