Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Just had a wonderful fresh prepared breakfast on Sunday morning . Would highly recommend it as it was one of the best breakfast I’ve ever had. Also freshly homemade brown bread was amazing. We had a great day as the weather was beautiful .

Superb course & lovely people. Great test for all levels of golfer. Very challenging back nine on the A/B course from the whites. Fabulous views of Co. Galway & the wild Atlantic.

Overpriced. Rather arrogant caddymaster. Nice greens & Tee boxes. Terribly slow flights in front. Obviously new money, no clue about golf. Bar & restaurant OK. … but nothing extraordinary.
So many nice courses in Ireland! Skip this one….

This was the first course I played in Ireland. I liked the course but there wasn't enough that was special for me to give it a better rating. The fairways were OK and the greens were good but not great. I played in good weather with great company but the course itself was not up to my expectations.
I played two other courses in Ireland that were far less expensive but delivered a better experience. I am NOT saying that it was "bad" and should be avoided but I think there are better options.

One of the less discovered Irish like courses. It's not one the famed Southwest courses, like Lahinch of Ballybunion, but its worth the visit. Very challenging with some spectacular holes and views. The back nine has quite a few elevated tees with some great vistas. The greens are very good and tough to read. The greens fees are moderate, a lot lower than the big names. But if you want good golf in a great location try Connemara. Clifden is about 15 minutes away and has great pubs, food, and music.

My husband and I played Connemara and both throughly enjoyed the course. While it is not as long as some courses, was a very playable course and just an overall great walk. Little tedious getting there, but well worth the effort.

An absolute gem of a place, and that's without setting foot on the course. The views of the wild Atlantic coast on one side and the rugged scenery of the twelve pin mountains on the other is just awe inspiring. As for the course itself, over 7200 yards from the back tees (which I played) with wind from all sides buffering you around and the last four holes approaching 2000 yards in length, up hill and head on into the wind. Are you kidding!!!! FANTASTIC! That's what I say. The most brutal test of your golfing skills you will find on a course in great condition. Just a pleasure to play and I'm booking up my next tee time right now.

If you enjoy a real golf challenge then this is the course for it. It is seldom that there is no wind, anything from a gentle breeze to a storm. With super greens and fairways all add up to a real challenge. Then whether you are a golfer or not pay a visit to the Restaurant or Coffee Shop. They serve lovely local fish dishes , I had a fantastic Smoked Salmon and Crab salad with delicious brown scones, some others in the party had a lovely piece of cod.With views to kill for and a really warm welcome for golfers and non-golfers a like you cannot go wrong. By the way if that wasn't enough the value for money is incredible.

Connemara Golf Course at Ballyconneely is one of the top links courses in Ireland. Long course, very exposed to the elements. Can be very windy.

How long does it take to drive to Connemara Championship Golf Links from Westport?
Written 23 April 2017
Hi Glenn,
it takes approx 1hr 30mins, it's a beautiful drive through Killary and Leenane and then past Kylemore Abbey. Once you get to Clifden you follow the Ballyconneely Road R341, passing the Derrigimlagh Historicial Site of the Alcock & Brown Landing and Marconni Wireless Station, once you get to Ballyconneely Village take the road to the right for the golf club.
If you need any further info please feel free to call us on (095) 23502
