Mulranny Golf Club is home to a stunningly located and immensely scenic nine-hole golf links. This "off the beaten trail" course sits beneath the Nephin mountain range, alongside Clew Bay on the coast of Co. Mayo. The nearby eponymous village, also goes under the name of Mallaranny, Mulrany, Malaranny, Mullranny or Mhala Raithní. A few kilometres to the west lies Achill Island.
On this rustic seaside links course, where grazing cattle keep the grass trimmed, the relatively small greens are typically defended by a single bunker. Not so much a case of "golf as it was meant to be" as "golf as it was, period!". On a fine day you'll enjoy fabulous views of Croagh Patrick mountain and Clare Island as you look across Clew Bay.
Visitors welcome on weekdays and weekends.
Must book in advance.
Credit cards accepted. Contact club for full details. [Last updated: 2020].
The village of Mulranny and its surrounds offer stunning panoramic views over the vast seascape of Clew Bay, its archipelago of drowned drumlin islands, the impressive Nephin mountain range and Bellacragher Bay.
