The Southwest of Ireland is particularly blessed with an abundance of wonderful courses and the natural Lakeside courses at Killarney Golf and Fishing Club are widely considered the jewels of the region and very deserving of their title – “The Nearest Golf Club to Heaven!”
Nestled amongst the splendor of the famous lakes of Killarney and with the spectacular backdrop of the MacGillycuddy Reeks, Ireland’s highest mountain range, lies two unique Championship Courses to challenge you. Killarney Golf & Fishing Club is one of the oldest, most established and internationally recognised clubs in Ireland where golf has been played since the 19th Century.
The Club offers two totally unique courses each with a different challenge to the golfer.
Mahony’s Point the shortest of our two courses at 6,800 yards is a lakeside course with spectacular views including the famous, breathtaking 18th described by Gene Sarazen as “one of the most memorable holes in the world”.
Killeen, the jewel in the crown, re-opened in 2006 offering both spectacular lakeside scenery and also challenging golf to long hitters with water features on nearly every hole and fast greens.
Nick Faldo, on winning the first of his two successive Irish Opens in 1991, was one of only three players to finish under par. That was before the changes in 2006, which will provide an even tougher challenge. Good practice facilities are available at the club should you need to sharpen your game before you take on your choice of Course.
