Kilkeel Golf Club

Kilkeel

Golf Club

A most attractive parkland course enclosed by the walls of the Kilmorey Estate at the foot of the Mourne Mountains. The par 72 championship course was designed by the famous Dublin golf architect Eddie Hackett.

Set in mature woodland and masses of rhododendron shrubs, Kilkeel has become one of the best inland stretches in Ireland. Located 3 miles from the town centre, the beautiful and historic Carlingford Lough flows alongside the town and frequent glimpses can be obtained through the many mature trees separating the fairways. Only 12 miles from world famous Royal County Down, the club has played host to the Senior European Tour and through the Royal and Ancient, has been used as a qualifying course for the British Amateur and Senior British Open. Expanded to 18 holes in 1993, the new layout provides a true test to players at all categories. A new clubhouse, built in 2000 on land overlooking the 18th green, provides a spacious restaurant and bar facilities.

Mourne Park, in which the golf club is situated, has an exceptionally private country home. In the past, the estate had notable guests including King Edward VII, the late Queen Mother and movie star Errol Flynn.
