Golf has been played in Killarney since 1892, originally on a nine hole inland course. Then in 1939 it was expanded to an 18 hole course which brought the course to the lakeside and added outstanding beauty. The flagship of the three courses, Kileen, is one of the finest parkland courses in the country. At 7,120 yards it will certainly challenge the longest of hitters and with water on almost every hole, accuracy is essential. Mahoney's Point is the shortest of the three courses, but with a combination of well undulated greens, well positioned bunkers and water hazards, wayward shots will often find big trouble. The latest addition to the club, Lackabane is still in its infancy but is already proving to be quite a challenge. With lakes and streams running through the course, it adds to the beauty and also adds a lot of danger to crooked shots.
