Ballycastle is a true golfer's paradise.
Located on the rugged and rural West Coast of Ireland, its name means
"Town of the Castle." The castle is nothing more than a ruin today.
There are only about 450 residents of the area within a five-mile radius
of the town itself. The former President of Ireland, Mary Robinson,
described the Ballycastle area as "the periphery of the periphery."
Ballycastle is equidistant between two of the finest links golf courses
in Ireland, Enniscrone and Carne, Belmullet, both about 40 minutes
driving time away.
Rosses Point, another world-class links course in neighbouring Sligo, is
about 1 1/2 hours away.
All three offer a true golf challenge, as well as some of the most
beautiful ocean vistas in the world. Other nearby golf courses are
Ballina and Westport. Nick Faldo's exciting new project, Bartra Island,
is only 15 minutes away.
This 365-acre island, when completed, will provide golfers with one of
the world's most scenic courses. In the summer, the days are very long.
Since there is still light up to 11:00 p.m., it is not unusual to find
golfers playing 18 after an early dinner.
