Killarney Golf & Fishing Club is one of Ireland’s great parkland golf destinations, set in a truly spectacular position beside Lough Leane in County Kerry. Surrounded by the lakes, mountains and woodland of Killarney National Park, it offers the sort of scenery that makes a golf holiday feel properly special before you have even reached the first tee.

The club is home to two 18-hole championship courses, Killeen and Mahony’s Point, along with the 9-hole Lackabane course. Killeen is the headline test, having hosted the Irish Open on four occasions, and is a strong, scenic parkland layout where water comes into play regularly. It is a course that rewards patient golf, clever course management and a steady nerve around the greens.

Mahony’s Point offers a slightly more relaxed but equally memorable round, with sweeping views across the Killarney Lakes towards the McGillycuddy Reeks. Its closing stretch is a real highlight, especially the famous 18th hole, which plays towards the lake and gives golfers one of the most photogenic finishes in Irish golf.

For a golf holiday in Ireland, Killarney is a superb base. You can enjoy championship parkland golf on your doorstep, then build a wider Kerry golf itinerary with renowned courses such as Dooks, Tralee, Ballybunion and Waterville within reach. Add in Killarney’s lively town centre, traditional Irish hospitality and stunning national park surroundings, and this becomes a brilliant choice for golfers who want more than just the golf.
