This Irish Championship Golf Course was founded in 1985, and stands on 125 acres of parkland with many water hazards and stately, mature trees all round, with delightful views over the North Kildare countryside.

Knockanally enjoys a proud and well-founded reputation for hospitality and for being a truly excellent "test of golf". Christy O'Connor Snr. has been quoted as saying that Knockanally has the most difficult opening hole in Irish golf. It also boasts water features on eleven holes. One of the most attractive is the par three 11th which is beautifully set amidst overhanging trees and protected front and right by water.
