The County Sligo Golf Club — Attraction in County Sligo

My rating is almost only based on the green fee that is being charged, so let me be plainly honest: is it worth that much of money? Unfortunately, as 12.7 handicapper it was not worth the money for me, also given the pace of play and the Links course feeling itself. There are far nicer Irish Links golf courses, for even a lot less money; yes, they are a bit remoter but absolutely worth the drives.

Now, while the course itself is in great condition and the views on the surroundings are absolutely fascinating (especially on the big dunes in the middle of the course), it's missing the real Irish Links golf course experience; except the constant and strong wind, I didn't really feel the experience of Irish Links golf (unlike at Carne Golf Links); also, a lot of the grass seems to be cut down (to help making an acceptable pace of play?). Additionally, the club house is at best okay (aged interior, restrooms and the pro shop not easy to find), the practice facilities are somewhat poor and the course is just overloaded with players (long waiting times and a slow round of golf is hurting the experience significantly). I couldn't find my rhythm of golf with the constant waiting.

I sincerely hope the pace of play can be improved (maybe tee-off every 12 minutes?) and please let some grass grow back to give the course more of a Links feel. And surely, the price could be adjusted a...

I was lucky enough to be a part of three golf trips to Ireland over the last three years and County Sligo was one of my favorite courses out of the 20+ we have played. It all starts with the people there, from the general manager on down everyone at Rosses Point is great to deal with and will do just about anything for you. Now on to the golf course, the first four holes give you some amazing elevation changes with the view from the second green being unmatched. That’s what I thought until I got to the fifth tee, you will be truly blown away when you stand on this tee overlooking the valley below and the rest of the golf course. County Sligo also has some very interesting par 3’s on the course that vary from having bunkers protecting the greens to semi-blind tee shots, everything you would need for a fun and challenging day. The best way that I can tell you that Co Sligo is an amazing course is to say that I very rarely will play a course a second time when I am on a golf buddies trip but after our 2022 stop there we immediately knew it had to be on our itinerary for 2023. If you’re going to the west of Ireland make sure that County Sligo is on your list of courses to play, you will...

The Championship course at CSGC is a spectacular, challenging layout that is beautifully maintained and a true pleasure to play. Our forecaddy Danny was a young gentlemen and helped our foursome’s enjoyment of the course immensely, helping to lower our scores and find our errant shots (of which there were too many to count).

Not to be outdone by the outstanding golf course experience, was the club’s restaurant. Of note was the chicken burger, a supremely crafted sandwich of epic stature, anchored by a juicy panko crusted breast, topped with bacon, cheese, tomato and a scrumptious sauce that makes the folks at McDonald’s salivate with envy. If you don’t golf, just go here for the chicken burger on it’s own. Better yet, pair it with a Guinnness! On top of all, the staff was top drawer, from the pro shop to the restaurant, with everyone more than happy to be of service, and each of them acting like they were in the running for Employee of the...
