Westport Golf Club

There sure is plenty of quality golf in the area - in fact, some courses would certainly qualify as "bucket list" courses for any avid golfer.

​However, a caveat.  Those courses - Connemara in Ballyconneely, Carne on the Belmullet Peninsula, Enniscrone, Rosses Point - are all a bit distant.  The closest are an hour and a quarter away, the more distant are close to two hours.  Therefore, savoring these courses probably means committing at least three-quarters of your day to this pursuit.  Only you can decide, along with your significant other, whether this would be a good spend of time on your family holiday.  An additional caveat, these courses are not for the faint-of-heart.  Bring your best game and expect to be beaten up.  Of course, an exhilarating bit of discipline it would be...  You'll find a tab on this website - "Extraordinary Golf" - that will give you a taste of the challenge.

I'm a member of Westport GC.  Guest fees would be modest, it's around the corner, it's a gorgeous setting on the bay and under the watchful eye of St. Patrick's holy mountain.  Also, it lends itself to 6/9/13 hole rounds since these holes pass close to the clubhouse.

Anyone with an interest in golfing should probably let me know their wishes in this regard by June 1 so any trips can be planned.
