Kenmare Golf Club was founded in 1903, and was extended to 18 holes in 1993. Whilst the course can be very exacting for a good player, it is never unfair to the weak. The early holes stretch along the picturesque Roughty river estuary, while the remaining holes provide panoramic views of Kenmare Bay and the Roughty Valley.

The course is just a two-minute walk from Kenmare town with its many fine hotels, guesthouses and restaurants.

This venerable old golf course cannot be omitted from a golfer's itinerary.
