If Castleisland is wound up it will become the second Kerry golf club to close its doors permanently in the last fortnight.

Castleisland Members Golf Club has made a last-ditch appeal to avoid permanent closure after claiming it is no longer a viable enterprise, the Irish Examiner has learned.

The parkland course in North Kerry opened in 2002 but with membership having fallen considerably since the 2008 recession and planned fundraising opportunities abandoned due to the Covid-19 coronavirus outbreak, it is feared the club will not reopen once the current restrictions have been lifted.
