Killeen Castle hosts a magnificent Jack Nicklaus Signature Course designed and constructed by arguably the game's greatest golfer and the world's pre-eminent course designer. With a record 18 major championships and close to 300 golf courses designed around the world, Jack is a true legend of the game and at Killeen Castle he has created some legendary golf holes.

Spaciously rambling over 350 acres among superb natural woodlands, Jack has created a course that can be set up to provide the sternest of championship challenges but which remains playable and enjoyable for the average golfer. It is a testament to the quality of Jack's creation that the course has been awarded the honour of host venue for The 2011 Solheim Cup and the 2010 AIB Ladies Irish Open.

Pure bent grasses have created putting surfaces that run true and fast year round, and our extensive 530km of drainage ensures that the course remains playable in any weather.

Prior to your round of golf you can warm up at our long game facility with complimentary golf balls or practice your short game on the putting greens in front of the Clubhouse.

Killeen Castle have employed the renowned Dave Pelz widely recognised as golf's foremost authority on the short game and putting, Dave Pelz focused on research and teaching this great game. Better skills within 100 yards of the hole is the fastest route to lowering handicaps. And, with a uniquely analytical approach, this former NASA scientist had designed instruction to teach those shots effectively.

Top playing professionals, including three-time major winner Phil Mickelson, have relied on Pelz's advice while thousands of amateurs attend his popular Dave Pelz Scoring Game Schools and clinics each year. The author of six books, including Dave Pelz's Short Game Bible and Dave Pelz's Putting Bible, he has long served as Technical Consultant for Golf Magazine and as a featured instructor for The Golf Channel.
