GOLF CLUB

Mahon Golf Course is a municipal course in Cork, Ireland, that operates a public booking system and a staffed Green Fees Office. Visitors can book online through the club’s BRS booking facility and payment is taken at the point of booking; on arrival all players are required to report to the Green Fees Office to check in. The course enforces a number of straightforward local rules: golfers must have their own set of clubs (sharing is not permitted), non‑paying walkers are not allowed on the course, and players should aim to arrive about 15 minutes before their tee time. There is a 24‑hour cancellation policy and bookings are transferable to another player if you cannot attend. Hire equipment and pay‑as‑you‑play services are offered: rental clubs must be reserved in advance, and the club publishes rates for ride‑on buggies and pull trolleys. Season Ticket applications are currently paused and the club publishes a range of seasonal green‑fee and membership options. The course also asks golfers to observe GUI standard dress and suitable footwear. For bookings, hire enquiries or cancellations the club requests contact by phone or email prior to arrival.

Kinsale Golf Club was formally affiliated in 1912 and has developed through several locations around Kinsale before establishing its present 18-hole championship parkland course at Farrangalway in the mid-1990s. The modern Farrangalway layout was created on roughly 122 acres of Bandon Valley farmland and plays as two returning nine-hole loops, with a listed length of approximately 6,935 yards. The club retains links with its past sites: the earlier Ringenane course still exists and now operates as a Footgolf course. Facilities at the club support year-round play and coaching. Practice provision includes a driving range with covered and open bays, short-game areas with chipping zones and putting greens, while the on-site professional shop and PGA coaching team provide lessons, custom fitting and equipment advice. The clubhouse contains bar and dining facilities (Atlantis Restaurant) which serve members, visitors and societies and can accommodate larger group bookings. The club has hosted provincial and national events, marked its centenary by staging All-Ireland Cups and Shields finals in 2012, and lists competitive successes and notable players among its recent history. Practical visitor services include buggy and trolley hire, changing rooms with showers, and wheelchair access to key facilities.
