    i recently had a post ( http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057669648 ) in relation to a trip away to Spain golfing that i had last December.
    I'm hoping to go play a few courses up the north west of Ireland later this year and I was thinking wouldn't it be great to share views on courses, places to stay, good pubs/food, etc.. amongst ourselves. I've never been up that way golfing and it would be great to get steered in the right direction and vice versa if i can offer info or views to anyone else I would do so. Maybe have an Ireland section & a europe section (maybe even RoW).
    It's just a thought see what people think.

    I'm hoping there will be either 6 or 8 of us heading up to the Donegal/Sligo/Mayo area and my initial thoughts were that i've heard Carne is really good, Enniscrone, Ballyliffin, etc... Would love to hear of any hidden gems, advice on maybe not doing too much travelling if course were close by or if it's worth the extra travelling for a great course, where to base ourselves, etc.... the list goes on but wouldn't it be great to share all this with each other. I've played & stayed lots of places so would gladly give my info to any queries on places I know.

    What do you guys think.

    Thanks for reading my waffling :-)

    If you're going to Donegal, do not bypass murvagh (just outside Donegal town). Very often overlooked when discussing Donegal links and a belter of a course, with scenery to boot

    Heading up in September, as it stands looking at playing Strandhill, Rosses Point, Enniscrone & Donegal (Murvagh). Any last minute suggestions? Thanks

    Drop Stranhill for Carne, Bit of a Drive but absolutely worth it

    Strandhill's not bad but Carne is better. It's a loooooooooong drive though! Definitely agree with previous poster re: Murvagh.

    There is a 4 day classic in September, plays 3 good courses and 1 sub par, but it's a cheap way to play 3 great courses for €130
