Enniscrone gives the golfer a picture of life as it must have been for primeval person - rugged dunes, unchanged since time began, a bracing wind, clear sky, the most beautiful beach in Ireland, the Moy Estuary and the Atlantic Ocean, all encompassed by the backdrop of the Nephin and Ox Mountains as they loom heavily against the sky. An idyllic haven indeed.There are two courses in Enniscrone Golf Club, The Dunes which is their flagship Championship course and the Scurmore Course. With its dunes, humps, hollows, rough and fast greens, Enniscrone gives the golfer a picture of life as it must have appeared many centuries ago. Rugged dunes unchanged over the course of time, a bracing wind, clear sky, the most beautiful beach in the world, the Moy Estuary and the Atlantic Ocean are set against the majestic backdrop provided by the Nephin and Ox Mountains. Many memorable holes exist at Enniscrone while each one tests the golfer's skills and concentration to the limit. Donald Steele, the celebrated British golf course architect was commissioned to design an additional nine holes in the late 1990's. These holes were completed by early 2001 and have been integrated into the original layout. In replacing some of the weaker holes, the present championship course at Enniscrone now represents as fine a test of links golf as one can find anywhere.
