Great views and variety of holes

We played on a very windy day but thoroughly enjoyed our game. It is not a long course and so is friendly for us older golfers. The views on the front nine are spectacular.

Excellent experience

This was the first time using golfnow combined with Carnalea. The process was effortless, the pro in the shop was well aware of the booking made through golfnow, the process and experience all worth while.

The day in which we played had fairly high wind speeds, this added to the difficulty of the course since the front 9 is exposed to the elements, while the back 9 is sheltered.

Spectacular views and a great golfing experience, would highly recommend this course to anyone thinking about booking a tee slot, you will not be disappointed.

Seafront course

Enjoyable and great value. Sea breezes at times can be a challenge to consider. Holes are reasonable length and forgiving fairways.

The greens are fantastic even in the autumn.

Carnalea golf course is great,food also very good.
The only down side if your booking a tee off time online the staff wether helpers or the pro in shop! Either they don't no or don't want to they are not very helpful in fact quite rude and obnoxious when you show your conformation email from golfnow this happened to me not once but twice
