Immaculate

Don’t let the yardage on the scorecard, fool you, this course has a lot of elevation change and plays longer than the number. The course itself is in fabulous condition as are the greens. It is important to be on the right side of the flag as there are false fronts and the greens run trie. The staff and amenities are excellent. The only thing missing is a driving range, but this is a small issue. Would play it again.

Kenmare, Tricky but Fair

Staff in Pro Shop and Clubhouse very friendly and accommodating.

Course signage is very clear, which was very helpful as the course is spread over two areas of land either side of the main road into Kenmare.

The course itself is quite tight in places, with plenty of areas to catch wayward balls and presents a good challenge for all levels.

The greens were very good with lots of slopes to make putting interesting.

All in all an enjoyable course which I would recommend to anyone.

Kenmare golf club 5 stars

We had a lovely 4 ball . The course was in great condition.

Very testing course with tricky dog legs and hidden streems running threw the course.

Lovely friendly staff.

Good value for your money..
