CRAZIEST Golf Course In Ireland
[Music] [Music] what is up y’all hope yall having a wonderful day we are here in Ireland at K this place is absolutely spectacular 150 meter Dunes the highest Dunes in Europe on a golf course that is the course we’re playing here today I am looking forward to it we’re just going to jump straight into it first hole here at car all right first hole here is a par five and pretty straight away kind of just want to hit it in between those Dunes go ride a little all right it was kind of like right edge of that left Dune but should be up there how about this like Amphitheater of Dunes Behind the Green here at the first that is pretty awesome I think I kind of hit into this hill if I would have been a little more right kind of get a little shoot right there and get quite a bit more yardage but I’ve got 181 here got a 9 iron cuz it’s playing downhill and downwind go ride a little all right I can’t tell from here it looked to be a good number but so I just left of the green all righty a little long here really not too bad kind of going up the slope back down the hill got an 8 iron I learned this little bump and run shot the other day here and I kind of like it oh that was a little firm simmer all right got a little work to do there for our bird all right it trundled a little past the hole breaking right to left about 15 ft here all right we’ll get the speed down in with the five here on the first and I love these flags here it’s one of the uh few flags that uh I think I’m taller on K links love to see it what an incredible hole here number two par 4 the green sits back behind this massive Dune there so we want to play it down to the corner right there not a driver hole really cuz the hole is only around 360 down breeze so I think I’m going to go with like a 45 iron all right after thinking about it this wind is really strong and it’s straight down wind downhill I’m actually going to go with a six iron here play this shot about I don’t know 205 cuz we’re probably going to get a lot of roll out of it that looks good all righty that is exactly how you want to play that shot right there that is how tall that Dune is right there compared to down here in the Fairway like I said perfect shape here up the hill 109 playing uphill 5 to 114 little helping Breeze off the right all right I’m going to go with a little smooth Sand Wedge here try to keep it down out of the wind oh that could be nice right there we’re gonna give that a little thumbs up all right we got a couple birdie looks early see if we can’t roll this one in we’re going to get these greens down don’t you worry couple pars to start on number three all right so we are playing the wild Atlantic Dunes course they have 27 holes out here and these are some of the most spectacular views right here on the water with all these Dunes but the wild Atlantic Dunes course is the one we’re playing for this video number three here par 4 WI left to right it’s like 360 roughly yards 362 I believe and there’s a dune that comes down and the wind’s off the left I think we want to come down right where that Dune meets the Fairway all right kind of let the wind take that a little bit saw it bounce in the Fairway the wind is strong here all right good shape right here about 117 I’m gonna hit a little chippy pitching wedge and just try to keep it left because that wind is definitely gonna push it right all right front edge didn’t quite hit it as far as I needed to and definitely kept it down below the wind I’m G to fill in this divot here take care of the course they’ll take care of you all righty up the hill definitely breaking right at the hole let’s just find good speed here good speed didn’t quite break as much as I thought all right in with the par I’m out here with some buddies this is Michael we have Angus right here what’s going on we got Nick heing it high letting it fly all right we’ve got a good par five here going back down towards the water bends a little to the right one cool thing about this course is there’s five par fivs five par 3s so you can really get after the score if you’re driving it well ill Stinger driver down the left side I think everything slopes to the right so it should be pretty good good drive right here I’ve got 234 I’d love to hit a super low Stinger unfortunately we’ve got this big slope right here so I can’t hit it too low but I’m still going to try to hit it low and the green is basically the left edge of the green is basically middle of the frame here so we do want ending up little right of middle of the frame that was the right height little right of the frame should be pretty good not going to get there in this wind so unfortunately you see where it hit up in the lip up there and then trundled back I might have gotten there I hit that one really clean and I didn’t know this bunker was up here but we’ve got like 55 yards here and anywhere really inside of 30 ft from here I’m going to be happy with oh man I mean all in all we got a put for Birdie being in a tough bunker but needed a bit more to get up that slope got to rake the bunkers it landed up here kind of on this slope and did spin back a little bit we got probably 45 ft here up the slope moving to our right two PS from here would be good go all right and with five so even far this is just to the right of the fifth T what a Beau we’ve got a par three here and the breeze is kicking up uphill 144 yards but honestly in this win it is right back into it probably playing almost 200 this is some true Lynx golf here today got the wind got the dunes right on the water you’ll love to see it the wild Atlantic Dunes course is the 11th ranked course Links Course in Ireland so this is a special place I’ve got six iron here and we are going to try to fight this low that might be the shot of the year right there into that wind it’s on the green we’ve got some solid wave action out there unbelievable look at this whole wave right here it’s just wire to wire that’s crazy all right so I hit that six iron and I didn’t really back off of it too much like maybe 135 that tells you how strong this wind is we gave it a good run there all right some pars to open number six here par 4 401 from right here we’re going with a four iron big right to left maybe slightly helping wind but mostly right to left all right it’s down there right Fair white right side all right got a long ways here I didn’t really get any roll and it actually went down in this little swell here the green is kind of to the right of me here I’ve got 200 yards left we’re going with the seven iron this wind should be helping here could be pretty good we’ll see maybe right center of the green all righty like I said I thought it was going to be pretty good kind a right center of the green breaking a bit to our left or not much to our left all right another par all right really cool downhill par three 151 playing downhill to 131 helping breathe I’m just going to chip a little gapway try to hit it about I don’t know maybe 125 and that is long we’re in trouble there all righty like I said a little long and we are facing the elements now all righty I need to just get this out of here to be honest wow that may be the shot of the day right there all right continuing on with the pars and we are in the elements now I am so all right number eight here par five this is really cool it’s like a bowling alley right here boy that was a strike right there it may have kicked a little right but I’m not going to hit it any better than that so on the way here we stopped by the cliff of more that is absolutely spectacular so if you come to Ireland you got to go check those out this was a perfect drive right here however I’m not going to really be able to go for this screen because of that Dune right there so we’re just going to hit a seven iron down around the corner all right should be all right all righty perfect shape right here got about 60 yards and see if we can’t get our first birdie of the day oh that was a bit heavy and quick trying not to let the elements get to me all right let’s see if we can do a little better here all right little past we got a par put we had hit it if we had hit it all right that’s the unfortunate bogey first bogey of the day but that’s all right we are one over and I want to thank K so much for having us out this place is absolutely spectacular in the dunes here and the dunes have so much height but those are natural Dunes they built this course with a shovel and this is pretty much the weight of the land they didn’t bring in a bunch of dozers to move dirt all over the place this is the natural setting absolutely spectacular it also took 10 years to build that’s absolutely incredible and the views out here just absolutely stunning we’ve got number nine here par 4 up the hill we’re going to try to hit a little stinger driver here that gets a thumbs up cuz that was that was right into the wind all righty I’ve got 123 up the hill here the flag is kind of in between these two bunkers I’m not sure if you can see them on the camera and I’ve got seven iron yeah I mean that could be pretty decent well I did think that this shot was a lot better than this but I think I just missed the right side of the green trundle down here and this is not an easy little chip oh get down all right we got a lengthy par put there oh back to back bogey that’s all right though all right number 10 here a really good par three got 212 kind of into a quaring breeze so I’m going to go with a little smooth for iron uh didn’t hit that great that’s going to be a little short left all righty I chipped it to here so this for my par putt hopefully uh we can roll this in so we don’t make it through Bogies in a row I didn’t hit it all right that’s all right we’re having fun you got to smile when you’re here in Ireland all right par 4 here y’all we’re going to try to hit that bullet Stinger driver it’s going to work out fine I smothered that one big time all like I said it was going to be fine but we right into the wind and I’ve got like 170 I’ve got to get this up I’d love to flight it I think I’m going to have to hit a three iron here and the green is kind of on the edge of the bunker here I mean the wind’s going to do what it’s going to do but I can’t hit that much better we’ll see that might be the shot of the day right there to hit that shot to there Michael was behind the camera he said it missed the slope in front of me by that much let’s roll the rock this is looking back at the Fairway these G are absolutely incredible it’s got a lot of break to the left here oh don’t do it to me aho need to hit that one with a little more Pace I only four all right number 12 here this is an absolute Beast of a par 4 right back into the wind it’s like 440 something yards probably playing no joke 570 something like that so we’re going to try to hit a bullets driver here come on wind push it left okay it got over that slope and I think it’s going to be pretty good all right so I couldn’t have hit that drive much better still have 200 yards left and uh finding the green here would be something I don’t know how much it trundled but it’s up there all right little short here chipping up the hill thank you all right let’s go make that H for par that was a huge par in these conditions that was so much fun there’s some massive weather about to blow in so unfortunately we’re just doing 12 holes today but really enjoyed K want to thank them again so much for having me out as for me the boys K Ireland we’ll see when we see you peace

Welcome to Ireland. Pound for pound the best golf courses on the planet. Yes' I'm biased!
My favourite course in Ireland 👍
Let's freaking go 🏌️
You should have included a "dune" counter 😂 a lot of dunes in this video. Love it.
Great video Zac! Carne is The Rolling Stones of golf courses. Come back often and keep bringing friends! All the best
the scotty will return one day and when it does, putts will fall from all over the map
That place is absolutely amazing. Does my irish heritage proud. I need to get there one day! Tough conditions out there so you did really well Zac.
Such a good round. Loved the shot selection on this one zrad!
Yea nick! Representing in Ireland. Lets go steelers!
You made it to my backyard Zac. Hope you enjoyed your time here.
I got to go There…Cheers Zac
Sensational course, I cannot wait to go back.
Incredible course ⛳️
This is a great course. Why? You'll never lose it into the trees! 😁
I really hope Zac went on a Hawaii holiday once he gets back from this euro trip….he needs to defrost ASAP lol
no way you played carne. that's my home course. hope you enjoyed the round. best links on the planet. slainte!
Your swing has always amazed me at how steep it looks.
Put your divots back!
It's hard to show just what it's like playing Carne, but you did a good job with it. Such an amazing place! On the 10th hole (par 3) I've played it and hit the green with anywhere from a 9 iron to a 3 wood, depending on the wind. Great hole. Carne should be on everyone's Ireland golf trip itinerary. I'll be back there in a few months.
I got to play there a few weeks ago during a golf trip. An amazing course, the wind was insane.
Played Carne a few times but last time was 2012. That is not the routing we played back then. I am confused?
