A peninsula routing on the shores of Lough Leane — arguably the most scenic golf course in Ireland. Water, mountains and ancient woodland frame every hole at Killarney Golf & Fishing Club's most picturesque layout.
Mahony's Point is widely considered the more scenic of the two main Killarney courses — a routing that takes advantage of the natural peninsula jutting into Lough Leane, with multiple holes played directly along the water's edge. The 18th hole — a long par 3 played to a green on the shore of the lake with the McGillycuddy Reeks reflected in the water — is one of the most photographed finishing holes in Irish golf.
The course played par 72 at approximately 6,164 metres. It has also hosted the Irish Open — most notably in 1992 and 1995 — and has welcomed some of the world's finest players over the decades. While the Killeen Course is the club's championship layout, many visitors actually prefer Mahony's Point for the sheer beauty of the experience.
A handicap certificate is required. Book in advance via the club website or by calling +353 64 663 1034. The Killarney Clubs has a strict dress code — smart casual on the course and in the clubhouse.

The 18th is one of Ireland's most iconic finishing holes — a long par 3 played to a green on the shore of Lough Leane. The mountains of Killarney National Park are reflected in the still water, and on a clear day the scene is extraordinary. It regularly appears in lists of Ireland's most beautiful golf holes.
Play both if you can — they are very different experiences. Killeen is the championship layout, longer and more demanding, host to six Irish Opens. Mahony's Point is the more scenic routing, with the lake more directly in play. Many visitors rate Mahony's Point as the more memorable experience. A two-day break allows one of each.
Yes — a valid handicap certificate is required for both Killeen and Mahony's Point. The 9-hole Lackabane course does not require a handicap. Contact the club for current visitor policy.
