15th: Inis Caoil
|
|
| Its name’s origin is uncertain but the holy island of Inniskeel (or Inis Caoil in the Gaelic) dominates the beach landscape at Narin. St. Conal Caol and St. Dallan are buried among the ruins of the two churches which once served the local community. St. Dallan was the most prominent of the early Gaelic poets and wrote the original words to the hymn, ‘Be Thou My Vision’. St. Conal instigated a pilgrimage or Turas and was noted for his advocacy of Sunday observance. The island can be reached on foot at low tide, giving walkers a two-hour window of opportunity in which to view its many attractions. The 15th hole affords a great view of this pretty island and can be seen on the club crest.Par 5 – 480m This par five is probably one of the most scenic holes that you will ever play with the Atlantic Ocean and the golden sands of Narin Beach on your right, backed by the historic religious site of Inniskeel Island. The course serves the golfer a daunting tee shot to a tight fairway, with dunes and a bunker on the left, and out of bounds on the right. The landing area for the second shot is guarded by bunkers on both sides and also requires a controlled golf shot. The third shot will bring you to a generous-sized contoured green, which is slightly raised. If the wind blows, a par is a great result here! |
