Killarney course set for biggest Challenge

THE DONALD Steel-designed Lackabane course at Killarney hosts the first European Challenge Tour event in the Republic of Ireland over the next four days with the arrival of the Ireland Ryder Cup Challenge.

Strongly supported by Fáilte Ireland, the tournament offers the opportunity to as many as 32 Irish professionals to progress their careers through the Challenge Tour, while six amateurs also have the chance to test their abilities.

Lackabane is the third course at Killarney Golf Club and has developed over the past few years into a very worthy layout.
