Killeen Golf Club - Kildare
[Co. Kildare]
Killeen golf course was designed in 1980. Since then the course has undergone many changes both in size and design to get it to the high USGA standard that it is at today.
With the purchase of extra land in 1990 the team of Tom Craddock and Pat Ruddy were brought in to completely redesign the layout. Further extensive work by Maurice Kelly and course builder Bernard Mullins in 1998 brought the course up to full Championship standard. The course features a state of the art drainage and irrigation system, this ensures the course is playable all year-round.
The 75 seater restaurant has been designed to bring a whole new standard to club catering. Breakfast is served from 9.30 am, with lunch and dinner menus offering a tempting choice of attractive options.
The golf shop in Killeen prides itself on the high quality of products it stocks and the level of service provided by the staff. There is a wide range of products on offer, from crested ball markers to the latest drivers, wedges and putters.
