Kilkenny Golf Club, Co. Kilkenny in Ireland
Kilkenny Golf Club was founded on the 2nd April 1896 at Daly's Hill whichis situated to the north west of the city.
The course itself is of championship standard and is set on 120 acres
of parkland and measures 5,850 metres with a par of 71. It hosted the
Carroll's Irish Matchplay Professional Championship in 1973 which was
won by Christy OÕConnor Jr. In 1984 it was the venue for the All Ireland
Mixed Foursomes final and the following year hosted the All Ireland Cups
and Shields finals. It is a popular venue for various regional play-offs
and finals for the Leinster area.
The course is mostly flat terrain with an abundance of trees. Notable
features of the course are its four par threes, the long par four eleventh
hole and the final four holes which have often ruined a fine score. A
feature of the course at the 10th tee is the 'Fulacht Fiadh', an ancient
Irish kitchen.
