Galway’s only true links course, Connemara Championship Golf Links, is a breathtaking gem nestled along the Wild Atlantic Way. Designed by the legendary Eddie Hackett, this course is renowned as one of the purest and most natural links experiences in the world. The fairways and greens are seamlessly woven through the rugged hills, rolling dunes, and rocky terrain, offering an awe-inspiring and authentic golfing challenge.
The A & B Championship Course stretches 7,055 yards from the Blue tees and a slightly more forgiving 6,739 yards from the White tees. However, length alone is not the only test—golfers must also contend with the prevailing westerly winds sweeping in from the Atlantic Ocean, adding another layer of difficulty to an already thrilling layout.
Even golfing greats have acknowledged its brilliance. On July 25th, 2000, Tom Watson, one of the finest links players of all time, played a round here in calm summer conditions, shooting an impressive 69. His verdict? Simply "spectacular."

With the Atlantic Ocean as a backdrop and the Ox Mountains in the distance, every hole presents both a visual and strategic challenge, especially when the coastal winds come into play.
