Kilkea Castle offers an 18-hole par 70 championship parkland golf course, measuring 6200 metres. The Course was developed in this magnificent setting beneath the shadow of the 12th century Castle and allows the splendor of the Castle to be viewed from every fairway. The course construction uses the River Griese as a natural hazard flowing through the Castle grounds and estate. You will encounter the river at almost every hole. Two lakes have also been included into the design, adding to the overall challenge.
