Kilkee Golf Club
Kilkee Golf Club is situated on the dramatic clifftops above Kilkee Bay on the Loop Head Peninsula — one of the most remote and beautiful stretches of the Wild Atlantic Way. The course plays to 5,526 yards at par 69 and hugs the cliffs in a way that creates some of the most memorable and scenic golf holes in all of Ireland.
Founded in 1896 and redesigned in subsequent decades, Kilkee is one of those small, characterful links courses that rewards the effort of the journey to get there. The terrain is exposed — wind from the Atlantic is a constant companion — and several holes play directly along the cliff edge with the sea far below. It is both exhilarating and utterly authentic.
Green fees of €20 to €30 are extraordinary value for a genuine clifftop links on the Wild Atlantic Way. The village of Kilkee itself is a traditional seaside resort beloved of Irish holidaymakers, with excellent seafood restaurants, traditional pubs and a beautiful horseshoe bay. Combining a round at Kilkee with Spanish Point and Lahinch makes for one of the great golf road trips in Ireland.
