KILLARNEY GOLF AND FISHING CLUB.
With 3 Championship courses the Killarney Golf and Fishing Club can offer 3 totally unique options and challenges to the golfer within 10 minute drive of our village. Golfers will find Killarney and the courses nearby some of the most stunning in Ireland. Killarney Golf and Fishing Club was host to the Irish Open in July 2010 and will host this prestigous event again in 2011.
Championship Golf Courses
Mahony’s Point the shortest of our three 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.
Lackabane, which opened for play in 1999 is a Parkland course providing an excellent golfing challenge with enough water hazards that add both beauty and danger in equal measure.
Killeen
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.
