Social Media Links Challenge 2014 - The Best of Irish Links Golf

Views over Carne's clubhouse

The Social Media Links Challenge is another in the growing line of amateur golf events taking place around Ireland. And, as always, this combines quality, thrills and value, coasting along the Mayo and Sligo coastline.

The event takes place over three days – Tue 29 July to Thu 31 July 2014 – and plays over three of the best and most scenic links courses on the island… Carne, County Sligo and Enniscrone.

The beautiful par three 16th (or 7th) at Carne

The format is a pairs event – in a very similar style to the Social Media Open, which has proved to be a big success and generates a lot of fun and 'entertainment' time off the golf course... as well as on it. The event is open to Irish/international players and there are few better ways to experience the character and charm of these three courses than through an event such as this.

I will not wax lyrical about the courses – you’ll find enough praise and adoration for these links elsewhere on this blog. Instead, here are the details that tell you all you need to know:
