Killeen Castle
The Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course at Killeen Castle has opened its fairways as of April 2009. Situated just 2kms from Dunshaughlin, Co. Meath Nicklaus has created 18 spectacular holes of golf, each with its own unique features. As you would expect with a Nicklaus designed course the 7,600 yard course provides the sternest of Championship challenges while remaining accessible to the average golfer.
All of the greens and tees have been seeded and drained to USGA performance specification and the greens feature a unique blend of grasses, inspired by Augusta - the same blend used in Jack's own course in Muirfield, Ohio in the US. In a testimony to the quality of the course Killeen Castle has already been selected to host The 2011 Solheim Cup between Europe and the United States.
Set in natural woodlands and parklands of almost 350 acres, more than twice the average size of a Championship course, water features prominently in nine of the 18 holes. In keeping with the Nicklaus philosophy of working with the natural landscape rather than against it, the course features stunning stonework which was quarried from the site and hand-tooled by expert craftsmen.
Complimenting this exceptional golf course is the impressive 30,000 sq feet clubhouse with state-of-the-art locker rooms, on-site physiotherapy, fine dining in the restaurant and casual dining in the bar areas.
Announcing the opening Barry O’Connor, General Manager, Killeen Castle said “Jack Nicklaus is one of the world’s foremost golf course designers and what he has created here at Killeen Castle is superb. At every stage of development, we have sought to complement the estate's natural beauty and richness of landscape rather than compromise it in any way. We are looking forward to welcoming golfers from all over the world, not only will they get to play on one of the finest parkland courses anywhere they will get to experience the unique atmosphere and natural beauty of the Killeen Castle demesne”.
