The Ross Hotel
Tucked right into the centre of Killarney, The Ross Hotel is a family-owned boutique base that makes a Kerry golf break feel easy. You're a short hop from two proper heavy-hitters, Killarney Golf & Fishing Club and Tralee Golf Club, and you can be back in town quickly afterwards for food, pints and a bit of atmosphere.
If you're heading out to Tralee, you'll know about it when the wind gets up. If you're playing Killarney, it's a different kind of test with the water and scenery doing their best to steal your focus. Either way, The Ross is set up for the post-round bit, which is often the make-or-break on a group trip.
Back at the hotel you've got a heated indoor pool, sauna and spa treatments to take the edge off tired legs. Then it's down to The Lane for a casual bite and a cocktail, or into Polly's if your group is in the mood for a lively night. And if you want to get out and about, you're already in the thick of it, with Killarney's pubs, shops and traditional music sessions all within walking distance.
The Ross has been owned by the Treacy family since 1938, and that continuity shows in the attention to detail. Awarded IGTOA's Boutique Golf Hotel of the Year, the hotel blends heritage with modern comfort in a way that feels genuine rather than forced. Its central location puts you within walking distance of Killarney National Park's waterfalls, St. Mary's Cathedral and the town's best nightlife, so there's plenty to explore between rounds.
If you're building a Kerry itinerary, you can base yourself at The Ross and include Tralee Golf Club and Killarney Golf & Fishing Club on the same trip without spending half the holiday in a minibus.
Who is this for?
Golfers who want a central Killarney base with strong food, a pool and a lively evening scene within walking distance.
Who is it best for?
Societies and mixed-ability groups doing a multi-course Kerry tour who want quick transfers to Tralee and Killarney G&FC, plus couples who want boutique style and proper downtime between rounds.

Accommodation at The Ross Hotel
The Ross Hotel is a 4-star boutique property with 29 contemporary rooms and suites right in the centre of Killarney. Rooms range from deluxe doubles to junior suites and all come with air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and luxury linens, which is exactly what you want after a long day on the fairways. The style is modern and uncluttered, with comfortable beds and good-quality touches that make it feel like a step up from a standard town-centre stay. Junior suites offer extra space for groups or couples wanting a bit more room to spread out, and all rooms are designed with relaxation in mind.
Food and drink is a real strength here. The Lane is the easy option for golfers, think burgers, steaks and cocktails without any fuss. Polly's leans more towards Mediterranean-style small plates, which suits groups who want to graze and keep the chat going. If you fancy pushing the boat out, The Peregrine at the sister hotel, The Killarney Park, is directly across the street and offers a more refined dinner option with locally sourced ingredients.
For recovery, there's a heated indoor pool, a sauna and spa treatments, handy if you've walked 18 in the Kerry breeze or you're playing a few rounds back-to-back. The pool is particularly welcome after a long day on the course, and the spa offers a range of treatments from sports massages to full relaxation packages. Location-wise, you're in the centre of Killarney, so you can head out to Killarney National Park between rounds, or keep it simple and enjoy the town's nightlife on foot.
Polly's Lounge also adds something different for groups, with private karaoke rooms and cocktail packages if your society likes to keep the evening rolling. It's a smart pick for mixed-ability groups who want golf by day and a bit of buzz at night, and for couples who want a stylish base with great food and proper downtime built in. The central location means you're never far from Killarney's best pubs and restaurants, but you also have the option to stay in and enjoy the hotel's own vibrant atmosphere.
