Located within less than thirty minutes of Cork itself are the Lee Valley, Douglas, Fernhill, Frankfield, Kinsale, Muskerry, Cork, Raffeen Creek, Monkstown, Cobb, Harbour Point, Mahon, and Fota Island golf clubs.
The Fota Island Golf Club is also within a few minutes drive from Cork, and stands out with pristine resort facilities and golf course situated on a 780 acre estate amongst picturesque woodlands and fine undulating greens and fairways. This was designed by Irish pro golfer Christy O'Connor, Jr. and English pro golfer Peter McEvoy. The course is host to a number of professional tournaments, such as the Irish Club Professional Championship and the Irish PGA Championship in addition to Irish Amateur Opens.
County Cork is host to at least another 18 golf courses further afield including East Cork, Yughai, Fermoy, Mitchelstown, Charlesville, Doneraile, Mallow, Ballinamona, Kanturk, Macroom, Bandon, Old Head, Dunmore, Skibereen, Coosheen, Glengariff, Berehaven, and Bantry Bay golf clubs.
Bantry Bay Golf Club is a world class course located on the shores of the beautiful Bantry Bay. The 1.5 hour drive west from Cork is well worth the effort to experience this beautiful part of island which has a variety of good hotels and places of historical significance. Bantry Bay Golf Club was founded in 1975, and is a well kept challenging course which also has excellent modern facilities, and is noted for its friendly staff.
Both Fota Island, and Bantry Bay golf clubs attract a large number of international players and guests who demand the highest quality in course and facilities. However for the weekend hackers and those who prefer more basic facilities, County Cork offers a number of other courses catering for all budgets and skill levels. If you prefer more holes Kinsale is worth a bash with 27 holes. The shorter (9 hole) courses include Raffeen Creek, Frankfield, Doneraile, Dunmore, Coosheen, Glengariff, and Berehaven.
No matter which courses you decide to challenge, County Cork golfing promises outstanding scenery coupled with immense variety catering to all levels of budget and all varieties of golfer.
