Best parkland course in the greater Dublin area

PGA Tour test from the black tees if you're brave enough.
Anyone who's ever play a J.N course before will be familiar with the type of design where every hole has it's own unique setting.
A course everyone should play at some point, a mixture of pure beauty and golfing challenge, no one hole can be singled out, all 18 are perfect in their own right.

Great course and in great condition

Wonderful day out in Killeen today. The course was beautiful and in great condition. Pity we didn't play well, but that's not the courses fault. Very challenging and when the wind blows - long.

Green are lovely and very undulating, so pick your spots.

A Castle of a course!

We played Killeen Castle for the first time and it won't be our last. Lovely course that is in great shape. The greens have a lot of undulations on them and you need to hit the ball on the right level in order to score well. Long walks between holes - typical of Nicklaus' courses but you don't feel rushed and can focus on your game. The staff were terrific and made us feel very welcome. Really great course for the golfnow discount!!

Excellent golf course

I thought the grounds were fantastic and there's hardly a golf hole that you can see beside another one. The rough was not impossible to play out of which meant that the course was definitely playable and we really enjoyed it. I would say it is a hidden gem which like most courses in Ireland suffers from bad financial times.
A must play

Loved this Course,although we had rain on the 1st tee box the weather picked up and we had a great day on this course,the greens are very challenging,one of my friends had spotted a nice putter in the pro shop that belonged to the guy behind the till when we asked him was it a good putter as my friend had wanted to purchase one but wasn't sure he came out and gave us a putter lesson to see if it would suit us which was a nice touch,very friendly staff and overall loved this course and will definitely be back,

Well worth the visit and great value for money.

Course was in great condition apart from the greens recently being sanded.
The pro in the shop was very friendly and could not do enough to help.
A welcome surprise was a pot of warm soup as you come off the 9th green which cost just 2euro per cup.
