Beaufort Golf Course Killarney is part of Churchtown Estate, the centre piece of which is the Georgian house built in 1740 by Sir Roland Blennerhassett. The estate was bought in 1860 by James MacGillycuddy Magill and it is his grandson and great grandsons who own it today and who have developed this great course. The ruins of Castle Core stand beside the 13th green and it was from here that the stone was taken to build the house. The entrance to the course is lined with two hundred year old trees and the pineapples which crown the gate pillars are a traditional symbol of hospitality.

The course presents magnificent views of the world famous MacGillycuddy Reeks from all points. The natural drainage of the site and the exceptionally mild climate of south west Ireland will guarantee enjoyable golf throughout the year.

"The 11th is breathtaking and the 12th, through a sweeping green valley, is just awesome in scope."

Nicky Barry, The Kingdom

The first nine holes are located to the west of the avenue while the back nine are nearer the mountains on the southern aspect.

The clubhouse complex is located within the courtyard adjacent to the main house and overlooks the practice putting green, beyond which is the formal rose garden. This complex incorporates all the facilities you would expect from a modern golf development whilst embracing a traditional and warm atmosphere.

Beaufort Golf Course is an 18 hole Championship Standard par 71. The Course measures 6587 yds from the medal tees and 5310 yds from the ladies tees.
