Carrick-on-Shannon golf club is located in a beautiful parkland course constructed to the highest USGA specifications. Close to the the Shannon with the Argina Mountains as a spectacular backdrop. This is an excellent 18-hole course with delightful diversity of scenery. Some 12 acres of marshland were preserved and integrated into the design, creating some wonderful holes and generating some anxiety when one has to play over it. There are some spectacular holes, not least the eight where the tee-box is surrounded by water, which require a carry-over of the Boyle River. The 13th hole is a frightening par 3 - just 200 metres "short" and has all the hallmarks of becoming rather special in Irish golfing folklore. Word of mouth and pictures only tell so much of the story. Come and see this course to get the full picture.
