Golfing the Wild Atlantic Way – Staying at The Glasshouse, Sligo

A stay at The Glasshouse Hotel in Sligo places you right at the heart of one of Ireland’s most authentic golf regions. Overlooking the Garavogue River, this striking modern hotel is just steps from Sligo’s lively restaurants and pubs. It offers stylish, comfortable rooms, excellent dining, and a relaxed atmosphere—making it an ideal base for exploring four of the northwest’s most spectacular links courses: Strandhill, Carne, Enniscrone, and County Sligo.

Your golf journey begins at Strandhill Golf Club, only ten minutes from the hotel. Nestled between Knocknarea Mountain and the Atlantic Ocean, Strandhill is a classic links full of charm and character. It’s not long, but it’s wonderfully unpredictable—demanding imagination rather than brute strength. The par-3 13th, played from an elevated tee with panoramic ocean views, is one of Ireland’s most photogenic holes. After your round, enjoy a pint in the friendly clubhouse or stroll into the surf village for coffee and homemade treats overlooking the beach.

On your return journey, stop at Enniscrone Golf Club, another Hackett gem and one of Ireland’s most celebrated links. The Dunes course meanders through towering sandhills that frame holes of extraordinary beauty and challenge. With the Atlantic wind as your constant companion, every round here feels different. The closing stretch, skirting the beach, is unforgettable and sums up what links golf is all about—strategy, bravery, and respect for nature.

Your final round brings you back to County Sligo Golf Club at Rosses Point, just a short drive from town. Designed by Harry Colt, this championship links has hosted the West of Ireland Championship for decades and remains one of Ireland’s finest. Panoramic views of Benbulben and Drumcliffe Bay frame every shot, and its rolling fairways and firm greens test every club in the bag.

After three magnificent courses, return each evening to the comfort of The Glasshouse—modern luxury amid the charm of Sligo town, the perfect setting for a memorable golfing adventure along the Wild Atlantic Way.
