Golf in Kilkenny

Kilkenny Golf Clubs

Kilkenny's rich and rolling landscape is the perfect natural environment for parklands golf. The Club House Hotel Kilkenny offers great golfing packages and can assist with booking of local courses, store golf clubs, and arrange transport if necessary. However golf societies can often get more competitive rates direct from the clubs. There are dozens of other clubs within 30-60 minute drive of the hotel. Below is a list of the Golf Clubs in the immediate local area.
