Described as “wild and natural,” Carne is Eddie Hackett’s last design, and some will argue his finest. Beautiful, gently rolling land over a fairly perfect site for golf allowed Mr. Hackett to simply find greens and tees, the occasion bunker, and as a result, the 14th best golf course in Ireland, according to UK-based Top 100 Golf Courses. A trip to Ireland’s west coast is incomplete without Carne, and make sure to visit the new 9 hole course from Ally Macintosh, which is now being included in the “best 9 hole courses in the world” discussions.
