Set amidst the celebrated beauty of the West of Ireland landscape on the fringe of Connemara and enjoying commanding views of Galway Bay, the Burren, the Aran Islands and tugged hinterlands, Bearna golf course is rightly being hailed as one of Ireland's finest.

The inspired creativity of its designer R. J. Browne in the siting of tees and sand based greens throughout more than 100 hectares of unique countryside has resulted in generously proportioned fairways. Water comes into play at thirteen of the eighteen holes. The closing four holes, especially, provide a spectacular finish to a satisfying round.
