Killarney Golf & Fishing Club (Killeen Course)

Is Killarney Killeen the best of the three Killarney courses?

Killarney Killeen is widely regarded as the finest of the three courses at Killarney Golf and Fishing Club. It is the club's championship layout and former Irish Open host. The course winds through Killarney National Park with views of Lough Leane and the MacGillycuddy's Reeks throughout — setting that makes it genuinely unlike any other parkland course in Ireland. It is longer and more demanding than Mahony's Point, and in better overall condition most of the year.

What makes golf at Killarney different from other parkland courses?

Killarney is parkland golf inside a National Park — the arbutus trees, the purple mountains, and the lake at the edge of nearly every hole create a landscape that has nothing in common with a typical manicured resort course. The setting is the thing. Tom Watson has described it as one of the most beautiful places in the world to play golf.

How do I book Killarney Killeen Course?

Killarney Killeen books through GolfNow with reliable online availability. Both Killeen and Mahony's Point are available to visitors seven days a week. Morning tee times in June through August go quickly — booking a few weeks ahead is advisable for the main season.

Should I play both Killarney courses?

If you have two days at Killarney, play both. Mahony's Point is shorter and the 18th green — surrounded by Lough Leane — is one of the most photographed finishing holes in Irish golf. The Killeen is the stronger course overall. One day at Killarney could include a morning round on the Killeen and an afternoon round on Mahony's Point with the same base at one of the Killarney hotels.
