Designed by Eddie Hackett, the Par 72 is rarely achieved on this Championship Atlantic Links. The back nine has been described as 'the equal of any in the world' with the very testing Par 3 13th probably the signatue hole. Ranked 21st in Ireland's 30 Greatest Golf Courses, an additional 9 was opened in May 2000 to further enhance the already first class facilities at Connemara.
