New Kerry golf club going from 'strength to strength'

Maine Valley Members Golf Club has attracted more than 350 members

Four months after the members of Killorglin Golf Club believed they had played their course for the last time, a successful new club is rising out of the ashes thanks to an amalgamation with similarly bereft members at Castleisland.

Maine Valley Members Golf Club opened for business on May 19, a day after Ireland and Irish golf courses came out of the Covid-19 lockdown and has already attracted a membership in excess of 350 members, thanks to the new club’s founding chairman Dermot Kelly and a handful of like-minded Killorglin members determined not to give up on their desire to continue playing the picturesque parkland course on the Ring of Kerry.
