Killarney (Killeen)
As parkland settings go, Killarney’s Killeen course is hard to
beat. Nestling under the imposing MacGillycuddy’s Reeks,
and clinging to the edges of Lough Leane, you will bask in
Ireland’s beauty, regardless of whether you’re playing golf.
With the second course, Mahony’s Point, alongside, Killarney
Golf & Fishing Club is a vibrant, popular and essential addition
to Co. Kerry’s world famous links golf offering. The town of
Killarney also happens to be buzzing with bars, restaurants
and accommodation.
The Killeen course hosted the Irish Open in 2010 and 2011
(won by Ross Fisher (-18) and Simon Dyson (-15), respectively),
and, despite the low scoring, this is a big, muscular course
where you need smart strategy as you play between big
trees and over surprisingly deceptive and natural terrain.
The lakeside holes may well be regarded as the best but it is
quality from start to finish, and you’ll be surrounded by deer
roaming the fairways all day long.
