About this course

Ross Golf Course sits on the outskirts of Killarney in County Kerry, occupying parkland terrain that benefits from the region's mild climate and the scenic backdrop of the MacGillycuddy's Reeks mountain range. Designed by Roger Jones and opened in the early 2000s, the course was developed to provide an accessible golfing option in an area better known for its championship layouts at Killarney Golf & Fishing Club. The routing takes advantage of natural elevation changes and mature tree lines that frame many holes, creating a traditional parkland character. Jones, a British architect with experience across Ireland and the UK, shaped a layout that emphasizes playability while incorporating strategic bunkering and water hazards on several holes. The course measures around 6,400 yards from the back tees, making it suitable for a range of abilities. The front nine generally moves through more open ground, while the back nine features tighter corridors and more pronounced doglegs. Several holes offer views toward the surrounding Kerry landscape, though the focus remains on shot values rather than dramatic vistas. Ross Golf Course serves both visitors exploring the Killarney area and local members. The club maintains a welcoming atmosphere typical of Irish parkland venues, with a clubhouse that provides straightforward amenities and dining. While it does not host professional tournaments or carry the historical weight of older Irish courses, it functions as a solid daily-fee option in a region dense with golfing attractions.
