Strandhill in Co. Sligo. A par 70 links under Knocknarea, sitting between Enniscrone and Rosses Point and rarely mentioned in the same breath as either.

Episode 3 of The Count Back, weekly discussions on Irish golf courses with Barry and Sigma. Every course gets a verdict and a score on The Count Back Index.
