Mitchelstown Golf Club sits on well‑draining parkland beneath the Galtee Mountains in North Cork. Established in 1910 as a nine‑hole course, it was extended in two stages: six new holes opened in 1994 and a further six completed in 2003, with the later work designed by David Jones. The routing pairs older tree‑lined, river‑side holes with newer open hillside holes. Notable holes cited on the club scorecard include the long par‑4 4th (recognised by Irish Golfer Magazine in its Best 100), the short par‑3 14th over the Funcheon River, and the pond‑guarded 15th. Built on top quality, well‑draining ground, the course is playable for most of the year. The club runs a regular competition calendar, welcomes visiting societies and accepts visitor bookings online via BRS Golf. On site, the clubhouse provides a weekend bar, changing rooms and a function room for prizegivings and events; there is free parking. Practical visitor services include buggy hire on request and pull‑trolley hire (€3 per round). Practice facilities include a practice net and a putting green. The club retains archival items and honours boards in the clubhouse and was voted GUI Munster Club of the Year in 2011.
