Co. Kerry

Killarney Golf & Fishing Club, one of Ireland’s most prestigious and historic golfing venues, teed off a new partnership with Synergy Golf and has built a brand-new vision for the golf club. The appointment was driven by a bid to improve the overall experience and to bring Killarney Golf & Fishing Club back to its glory days. Located in Killarney National Park and surrounded by the lakes of Lough Leane, Killarney Golf & Fishing Club is a world-class destination. Home to two 18-hole courses, Killeen and Mahony’s Point, and a 9-hole course, Lackabane, it is the ideal venue for a society day out, corporate event, or golf classic. Over the past number of years, Killarney Golf & Fishing Club has invested over €400,000 in improving the golf course and this is set to continue. Together, Killarney Golf & Fishing Club and their new management partners have recently invested over €200,000 into the facility which was used to reburnish a brand-new professional shop, a new club website, and ongoing course improvements.

Killeen – Killeen, the jewel in the crown, played host to the Irish Open on four separate occasions. The course offers both spectacular lakeside scenery and challenging golf to players of all levels, with water features on nearly every hole. Killeen is arguably one of the best parkland courses in the country.

Mahony’s Point – Mahony’s Point offers golfers spectacular views of the famous Killarney Lakes which are overlooked by the McGillicuddy Reeks, the highest mountain range in Ireland. The 18-hole championship course is a great option for societies looking for a softer challenge. The final three holes are breathtaking as you play towards the lake with the 18^th hole described as ‘one of the memorable holes in golf’.
