Way back in 1922 some townspeople in Kilkeel looked enviously at Warrenpoint and Greenore and their 18-hole golf courses dating back to their foundation in the 1890's. Also some of the locals made the journey to both Clubs and got the golf bug! The Course is situated at the foot of the Mourne Mountains and can be found 2 miles from Kilkeel town centre on the main Newry Road. Only 12 miles from Royal County Down, the Club has played host to the R&A and Senior European Tour having been used as a qualifying Course for the British Amateur and Senior British Opens, also hosting PGA events. Many visitors have commented on the quality of the course, the challenge afforded to golfers of all standards and the friendly atmosphere around the club. Should the golf prove 'over-challenging' (as golf sometimes does!) then the spectacular scenery of the Mourne mountains which can be viewed from every tee will provide a memorable and enjoyable experience. Glimpses of the beautiful and historic Carlingford Lough can also be obtained through the many mature trees which separate the fairways.
