Never heard of this place and I've done a lot of research on places to play in Ireland. Has it ever been open for play or is it an estate course?

[Dónal Ó Ceallaigh]

I think there was a golf club connected with the course, so it was run much like a normal Irish golf club. You could turn up and pay a green fee. I don't think any other business model would work in such a rural area, especially since it's only 9 holes. It looks like they hope to continue as a golf club, although this will depend on what the prospective new owners decide.

From the link:
"Designed and constructed as a nine-hole layout in 1993 by Tom Craddock and Pat Ruddy, notable designer of The European Club and others, the course at Connemara Isles encapsulates all that is good about old fashioned golf played in stunning surroundings. It is a 9-hole course with 18 tee boxes, measuring 5,260 yards per-70 with a standard scratch of 67 and a course record of 63. Ruddy notes in his book “Holes in my Head” that while small, it is full of character and joy. It sets out 'hole measurements of this delightful island hopper of a course which are 323, 354, 159, 270, 412, 165, 284, 481 and 186 for a total of 2634 yards for nine and just 5,268 for 18 holes'."

I played it in 2003ish, the same trip we stumbled on Mulranny.
A really cool 9 holer that wanders out of a peaty landscape onto spectacular seaside peninsulas.
The drive in is very eerie in the peat desolation.
Nowhere near Connemara Golf Club
A thatched roof clubhouse.
We had a few pints with the owner who  if memory serves, was an ex cop from Brooklyn.
He wandered out to watch us tee off in part I think to verify our PGA member status..
