Set against the celebrated beauty of West of Ireland landscape on the fringe of Connemara, and enjoying commanding views of Galway Bay, the Burren, the Aran Islands and rugged hinterlands, Bearna Golf course is already being hailed as one of Ireland's finest. The inspired creativity of it's designer R.J. Browne in the sitting of tees and sand based greens throughout more than 100 hectares of unique countryside has resulted in generously proportioned fairways, many elevated tee-boxes, and some splendid caries. Water comes into play on thirteen of the eighteen holes, each one boasting unique features and which together test the golfers total repertoire of skills. The final four holes especially provide a spectacular finish to a satisfying and memorable experience.

Bearna Golf & Country Club, inaugurated in 1996, is a gender equity club with 500 members. The clubs motto - Fáilte agus Ceol na Fuiseoige leat - meaning "Welcome and may lark song accompany you" is intended to signal the tranquillity and reception which awaits the visitor on every fairway. The skylark's trill, the seagull's cry, the scampering of the hare into deep rough, the startled flap of wild duck feeding in stream or lakelet, and the jumping of wild trout in Lough Inch or in The Forbidden Lake are just some things which vie with the golf ball for attention, and bring the player into a more intimate relationship with nature and self.

Visitors are always welcome in Bearna where you can relax in our bar which serves food all day, or alternatively in the restaurant, where you can sample international and home grown cuisine. Both have fabulous views of the course and surrounding countryside. We can accommodate up to 150 people for all social occasions including weddings and private parties. Special rates are available for societies.
