Killeen
Castle hosts a magnificent Jack Nicklaus
Signature Course designed and constructed by arguably
the game's greatest golfer and the world's preeminent 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.
The Nicklaus name has become synonymous with greatness in
golf, and his résumé of some of the world's
finest new courses now includes Killeen Castle .
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.
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.
