A warm welcome awaits you at Killarney Golf Club

-

KILLARNEY Golf & Fishing Club has more than 1,700 members and membership is currently open. Some of the benefits that members can enjoy include participat­ion in club competitio­ns, full use of club facilities including locker rooms, sauna, gym, golfing guests at significan­tly reduced green fee rates as well as a reciprocal membership arrangemen­t at Fota Island Golf Club.

General Manager, Cormac Flannery, said: “One of the difference­s between us and many of the big clubs in the South West is the level of walk-in business we do. Thanks to our proximity to Killarney, and our great relationsh­ips with local hotels and operators, walk-in golf is hugely significan­t to us.”

“The biggest improvemen­t in feedback has been the standard of presentati­on and consistenc­y of our playing surfaces during the golfing season. The quality and playabilit­y of our turf has improved immensely as a result of the constant review and refinement of our agronomic program each winter,” Cormac Flannery said.

The club offers reduced green fee rates to GUI/ILGU members all year round. Societies are also welcome at the club, with green fees available from just €35. In addition, the club run a series of Open Days throughout the year, the most recent of which took place on Easter Monday.

Cormac concluded: “We endeavour to provide golfers with a fantastic overall golfing experience when they visit the club and in our 125th Anniversar­y year it will be a great time to visit and play, especially if you haven’t been in a few years. Our Head Greenkeepe­r, Enda Murphy, oversees all the work done on the courses and his commitment and level of expertise is second to none.”
