Strandhill Golf Club sits about 9km west of Sligo and enjoys stunning views of the Knocknarea Mountain, Ballisodare Bay and the Atlantic coastline. It nestles among the sand dunes and certainly places a premium on accuracy. "I played this course and fell in love with it," admitted one visitor. "The back nine, particularly, is unique, hard and interesting." Another commented: "Not the toughest challenge there is but lovely views, especially from the high tees, while the first, 16th and 18th are the tough holes."

You will be guaranteed the warmest of welcomes in the clubhouse, where the food is plentiful and reasonably priced.
