Golf Day Information 2016 Conveniently located just off the M1 highway, and in close proximity to the Sandton and Johannesburg CBDs, Killarney Country Club is a premier location for corporate golf days.
the course The best way to describe the characteristics of the Killarney Country Club golf course would be that it is a narrow park-style course with a premium on driving accuracy. It is a Robert Trent-Jones design and is a challenging and well manicured par 70 layout of 6154m for men and a par 72 for the ladies playing at 5294m. The greens are fairly generous in size which gives you a good chance of scoring well when playing from the fairways. However, miss a fairway and you can almost be sure of having to play a recovery shot from amongst the trees. www.killarneycountryclub.co.za
Upon arrival, you will be greeted by our Golf Director, Kevin Rakow, and his staff. Enjoy the generous putting green before teeing off on our championship golf course designed by the internationally renowned Robert Trent-Jones, and maintained by Golf Data. Golfers can enjoy a round amidst the beautiful plant and birdlife on the course. Our golf team will assist you with all your timesheet requirements, starting of the field, marshalling and scoring after the round, as well as facilitating the results for prize-giving. Several function venues are available for prize-giving; we can accommodate various group sizes and needs from smaller groups needing drinks and snacks to larger ones wanting a more formal prize-giving and dinner after a day on the course. Killarney Country Club also offers bowls, tennis and squash as alternatives to those who do not play golf.
