Killarney Golf Club to the fore as Munster dominates awards

Munster clubs dominated the 2017 Gala Irish Golf Awards, with the Killeen Course at Killarney Golf and Fishing Club named “Parkland Golf Course of the Year” by the Ireland Golf Tour Operator Association (IGTOA).

The news is a major boost to the resort ahead of its 125th-anniversary celebrations in 2018, and another sign that the famous Kerry golfing haven is moving forward since ownership passed from majority shareholders Fáilte Ireland to the members just a few years ago.

“It’s brilliant news for Killeen, absolutely brilliant,” said Killarney’s general manager, Cormac Flannery.
