History
Kilkeel Golf Club has a rich history dating back to 1922 when some townspeople looked enviously at Warrenpoint and Greenore and their 18-hole golf courses. Some locals made the journey to both clubs and got the golf bug! Our club was established in 1924, and we have been providing a challenging and enjoyable golfing experience to our members and visitors ever since.

We are located in Kilkeel, Co. Down, Northern Ireland, just a short drive from the bustling town of Newry. Our club is easily accessible from Belfast and Dublin, making it an ideal destination for a day out or a golfing break.
