Golf at Strandhill Golf Club

Duration 3 hours
Difficulty Moderate

Set beneath the slopes of Knocknarea and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, Strandhill Golf Club offers an unforgettable round of golf amid some of County Sligo’s most spectacular scenery. This authentic 18-hole links course combines undulating fairways, rolling dunes and ever-changing coastal winds to create a memorable challenge for golfers of all abilities.

As you make your way around the course, you’ll enjoy sweeping views across Strandhill, Sligo Bay and the surrounding mountains. The natural contours of the landscape shape each hole, while the Atlantic breeze ensures that no two rounds feel exactly the same. Careful course management is often more valuable here than outright power—although a little luck never hurts.

Visitors are warmly welcomed, and equipment including golf clubs, trolleys and driving buggies can be arranged in advance. Caddies are also available by prior booking, offering helpful local knowledge and advice on navigating the course’s deceptively tricky links conditions.

Why we love it

Strandhill Golf Club delivers everything you could want from a traditional Irish links course: dramatic scenery, unpredictable Atlantic winds and a friendly local welcome. Even when your golf ball refuses to cooperate, the views towards Knocknarea and the ocean make every hole worth playing.
