COUNTY KERRY

Waterville Golf Club is based in Waterville, Co. Kerry. The club operates active men's and ladies' sections; committee lists for 2026 are published (Men’s captain Mr. Larry ‘Chip’ Murphy; Ladies captain Alma Cronin O'Sullivan). The club runs a full calendar of competitions including major events (Captain’s Prize, President’s Prize, John A. Mulcahy Trophy and John Quinlan Memorial), open competitions, invitationals and inter‑club matches. Competition procedures and handicapping follow the Rules of Golf and the World Handicapping System; the club uses a computerised online competition system and requests that competitors enter via the system or the competition room computer before play, and to record scores on completion. Tee times should be booked through the club office in advance. The club permits the use of buggies in competitions. Junior activity is supported through a junior officer and team involvement is noted on the site. Practical information and club documents, including competition rules and AGM material, are available on the club website and in the competition room. For enquiries the site provides a members area and a prompt to enter an email; no public phone or email address is displayed. Visitors and members should consult the club noticeboards and online postings for current notices, tee‑time arrangements and specific competition conditions.

Maine Valley Members Golf Club is an 18-hole parkland course located just outside Killorglin on the River Maine. The layout, opened in 1992 and designed by Eddie Hackett, has matured into a tree-lined course with numerous bunkers and water hazards. It plays to a par of 72/73 and measures up to 6,411 yards from the back tees, with shorter tee options available. The routing provides clear views of Dingle Bay, the Slieve Mish Range and the MacGillycuddy’s Reeks to the west, and the setting places the course centrally on the Ring of Kerry. The club was formed in June 2020 through an amalgamation of the former Killorglin and Castleisland clubs; membership is open and the club operates a pro shop on site. Visitors can play year round and the course offers green-fee rounds and group/society bookings. For practical details and bookings the pro shop can be contacted by phone. On-course features such as raised tees, two-tiered greens and a mix of long and short par holes mean the course requires thoughtful shot selection across the card. The clubhouse includes catering and bar facilities overlooking the harbour for post-round food and drink.

With majestic views of the Wild Atlantic Ocean and the nearby Reeks mountain range, which is home to the highest mountain in Ireland, Dooks Golf Links offers a visual feast of scenery at the edge of Dingle Bay as well as a technical challenge for all golfers.

Ceann SIbéal is a members club, situated in Baile an Fheirtéaraigh on the DIngle Peninsula. Our claim to fame is that we are the most westerly golf course in Europe. Perched on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean, the views from the course are spectacular. To the west are the Blasket Islands, to the east is Mount Brandon and to the north is the towering headland of Ceann Sibéal after which the course is named. We are open all year round for members and visiting golfers.

Ring of Kerry Golf Club sits at Greenane in Templenoe and offers an 18‑hole course routed through heathland and parkland. The layout was created by Eddie Hackett and Ron Kirby and features varied terrain and mature, tree‑lined fairways with views across Kenmare Bay to the Caha Mountains. Practice facilities are provided on site and lessons are available from PGA Professionals. The clubhouse contains the refurbished Nua Vista Restaurant, which serves an eclectic menu. The club accepts visitor bookings online around the clock and publishes seasonal green fee rates; it also stages open competitions and arranges society and group bookings. Equipment hire options listed by the club include golf carts, pull trolleys and club rental, and caddies can be pre‑booked through the golf team. Membership is offered in a range of packages and age categories—including full, distance, country, intermediate, youth and academy options—with associated member benefits and competition access. For tee times, events or membership enquiries the club can be contacted at the published address, phone number and email.
