Connemara Sign

Connemara, the very word elicits nostalgia for the Irish who set sail from there to the United States. Connemara with its rugged west coast has a landscaped dotted with stone walls so familiar to those of us in Kentucky.

As you play on this wonderful course, our hope is that you will get a feel for what Ireland is like and the connection between Kentucky and the Emerald Isle. Enjoy your game and may you have the luck of the Irish!
