Killarney Golf & Fishing Club, Golf course in County Kerry, Ireland.
Killarney Golf & Fishing Club operates two 18-hole courses positioned along the shores of Lough Leane, bordered by the MacGillicuddy's Reeks mountains. The property includes a restaurant and bar, a professional shop, practice facilities, and equipment rental services for visitors.
The site began in 1896 when the Mahony's Point Course was established, then expanded in 1984 with a second layout designed by Eddie Hackett. The two courses together document the evolution of Irish golf design across generations.
The club attracts both local players and visiting golfers who come for rounds surrounded by mountain and lake scenery. Its role in the community extends beyond sport to hosting gatherings where people experience the landscape together while playing.
The site offers practice areas where you can warm up before playing and clubhouse facilities where you can relax after your round. Weather here can change quickly because of the exposed location along the lake, so bringing layers is a good idea.
The finishing hole of Mahony's Point requires players to hit over water as it juts out into the lake on a narrow strip of land. This closing hole stands out among golfers for its demanding finish and memorable setting.
