Newcastle West Golf Club
Newcastle West Golf Club was founded in 1938 after eight local businessmen met in April of that year to form a club. The official opening took place on 14 September 1938 when the V. Rev. Canon Hannon drove off the first tee; the club’s first competition was held a week later on 21 September 1938 and was won by D. O’Dwyer. In its early years the club engaged a professional, D. Murray, to give lessons and to supervise course development. In 1992 the membership voted to relocate from a nine‑hole site and develop an 18‑hole course at Rathgonan, just outside the village of Ardagh. Play commenced on the new 18‑hole course in May 1994. The course site is in the parish of Coolcappa and was formerly part of the Cahermoyle Estate. Facilities on the club’s site include a clubhouse with bar and catering, a 10‑bay fully covered and floodlit driving range, an 18‑hole putting green, a chipping green and a pro shop. The pro shop is managed by club professional Ian Colleran, who provides coaching through the Ian Colleran Golf Academy. The club publishes visitor green fee information and runs society days, with society rates noted for Irish‑based groups.

Kilkea Castle
Kilkea Golf Course has been developed in a magnificent setting, beneath the shadows of a 12th century Castle (the oldest continuously inhabited castle in Ireland). It allows the splendour of the Castle to be viewed from every fairway. In constructing this championship course, the designers have cleverly used the River Griese as a natural hazard flowing through the Castle grounds and estate. The combination of this water and a variety of other hazards and interesting greens ensures the golfer playing the course has a considered challenge on his or her hands. You will encounter the River at almost every hole. Two lakes have also been included in the course design, adding to the overall difficulty of the challenge of this royal and ancient game.
