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.

We (28 playing golf society), arrived here on a Friday afternoon and shortly realised our booking time was wrong. The pro in the shop calmly made a few calls and sorted us all out. That was only the start of the good news. The course itself is a decent test, especially when the wind is up. Very interesting holes in great condition on the day. Be sure to talk to the pro before you go out for a few tips. In the clubhouse after we were looked after royally, decent food and a great pint, and overall excellent value for money. Will definitely be returning to this little piece of golfing heaven.

This is a terrific links course. Needs to be played at least twice to figure out the lie of the land. Great natural terrain and the greens were just short of superb. In the overall rating I was going to go 4 stars very good but look you can't blame the course for the wild weather our party golfed in, so 5 stars are appropriate

I have been to Ireland 10 times, played 25-35 Irish course (maybe more). My favorite, by far, is Strandhill. And #13 is my single favorite hole. Above Royal County Down #9 and Royal Dornoch great holes. The Strandhill players and staff are great. The course is short enough that average golfers can score yet tough enough that single digit handicaps will end up sitting quietly in the bar shaking their heads. There are so many memorable holes. #5, a drive off a cliff to an uber-undulated fairway -- then an uber-undulated green. #7, a gorgeous par 4. #12, a bugger of an uphill hole. #13, a blind tee shot..then a second shot to the world's most guarded green. It's great! #14, a par 3 that will often show you no Stableford points. Then #15 UPhill. What a superb course. Try ir. Enjoy it. Remember it when you are back at home daydreaming. As I do.

Played here last week .. the sound of kids enjoying life from a nearby national school was like a background noise .. just fab ... beautiful views ... well set up club house and good efficient catering with very pleasant young staff ... so well trained
the views are extraordinary ... some holes are "tricky" but most are what you see ..

We played here as a "filler" on a recent 10 day golf trip and at the end of the trip we agreed it was one of the highlights. A hidden gem in a beautiful setting that is affordable for any golfer, the course is all there in front of you, a mix of tough and fair. The course was in great condition, the greens were excellent. Hugh Gallagher the club captain was out walking the course watching a match that was going on behind us and he caught up with us to say hello and offer a tip or 2 on some lines off the tee for us. A very enjoyable day of golf. I would recommend this course to anyone.

My wife and I were on a golf tour of Ireland's West coast when we found Strandhill. We had played courses such as Ballybunion, Lahinch and Carne and were on our way to our accommodation at Rosses Point before playing Co. Sligo the next day. We needed to find somewhere to have lunch on the coastal scenic route, when my wife, who was navigating, found Strandhill on the map and suggested we called in for lunch.
The reception we received was incredibly friendly and during a fantastic lunch we oversaw much of the beautiful golf course from the clubhouse.
We then called in at the Pro Shop and during a conversation with him, the Pro suggested that we had to call back and play the course. Although we had a tight schedule, two days later, at about 9.30am, we called back to see if we could play.
It was Ladies Day and due to the wonderful weather, many of the ladies had booked tee times. We explained that we needed to be in North Donegal by late afternoon and would not be able to wait until all of the ladies had teed off. The Pro understood our problem and said we could tee off at hole 6 but as we may not be able to get on hole 1, he would only charge us a reduced fee, although he did say if we could get on at hole 1, that would be fine. He even charged us only members rates for a cart, due to the restricted round.
In the event we did get on at hole 1 after playing 18, which was a real bonus as holes 1 to 5 are not to be missed.
This course is absolutely superb and although not as famous as the Ballybunions and Lahinches, Strandhill is a course that should not be missed by golfers of any standard, it is so good.
The friendship and hospitality shown by all of the staff was exceptional and certainly unsurpassed by anything else we encountered in this very friendly country. We also spoke to many of the lady players who were also incredibly friendly and helpful with their information and advice.
Amongst many fantastic courses we played from the Ring of Kerry in the South West up to Ballyliffin in the North West, Strandhill stands out as a most fantastic and impromptu diversion in our otherwise fully booked and planned trip. So much so, that in a future trip to the West of Ireland, Strandhill, is a place we will certainly revisit.

This is an Irish Links course not quite as famous, nor fancy as some of the other names. It is more of a local club with global quality golf. They have been renovating and upgrading the course to fantastic results. Not crazy expensive but surprisingly dramatic along a massive set of dunes with water on two sides. The routing is actually quite dramatic bordering whimsical. It was possibly one of most fun days we had in Ireland and playing golf in general. We did two laps oftTrue Irish spring golf. Teed off the first in 60F Deg and sun for 6-Holes, 55 and windy side ways rain for 6 holes then about 75F and sunny for the last six. Laughed aloud when we got to the 13th Hole approach. If you're golfing in Sligo western Ireland, play here... twice. Great membership, revetted pot bunkers, massive dune, looks like a ball for match play and seems to be a fantastic track for family and junior golf. Bring rain gear (Duh). Real Rain gear. Not that "Water Repellent" nonsense. We walked but I think they allow carts. We will be back. You should golf here. Thank you StrandHill membership and management for your investment in some, friendly, affordable, welcoming, fantastic and fun true links golf.

As a member of Strandhill Golf Club I would of course be biased towards Strandhill Golf Club and if I had to pick 2 out of the three to play in Sligo I would choose Strandhill & Enniscrone.
Enniscrone is a beautiful, challenging and long championship course & Strandhill is a shorter but also challenging links course that offers some of the most stunning views you are likely to experience in Sligo. There is a huge variety in the type of hole you will experience in Strandhill and it's a course that always keeps you thinking.
Strandhill is also fantastic value for money.
I hope you enjoy your time in Sligo, whichever course you choose to play.
