Killarney Golf & Fishing Club

The Killeen Course is the most established at Killarney, and is a proven tournament host, having welcomed the ladies for the Curtis Cup in 1996, and also the European Tour professionals for the Irish Open in 2010 and 2011. Ross Fisher held of a star-studded line up in 2010 to take the victory, with fellow Englishman Simon Dyson taking the honors in 2011.

This gives an insight into the difficulty of the course, especially in bad weather. Holes like the tough 13th, known locally as the ‘Tiger Hole', have benefited from recent changes to add length, more water hazards and faster, redesigned greens, as part of a strategy to make this beautiful South West Ireland track even more challenging.

Donald Steel's Lackabane Course is the newest addition to Killarney's impressive portfolio, and has already established a reputation for being a formidable test. This parkland track will test the long game of even the best players. Numerous lakes and streams are part of the myriad of hazards to be negotiated around this modern classic.

Mahony's Point may be the shortest of Killarney's offerings, but it features some of the most entertaining holes around. The highlight of this experience is the closing stretch, not least the famous final hole, a 200-yard par-3 which demands a monstrous carry over the blue water of Killarney's lakes. These courses together are testament to the fantastic golf, and awe-inspiring beauty that can be experienced on a golf break or tour in Killarney.

The Killeen course at Killarney has held the Irish Open four times and each time an Englishman has triumphed.
