About Castlemartyr Links

Castlemartyr's golf course is an 18-hole, par-72 resort layout on the historic Castlemartyr estate in East Cork.

Origins

The golf course was developed as part of Castlemartyr Resort on the grounds of an old manor estate in East Cork. The property encompasses approximately 220 acres and includes historic structures and landscaped estate grounds.

Design Philosophy

Ron Kirby created an inland-links-style layout rather than a coastal links. The routing uses open ground and the contours of the old estate while retaining the wider landscape of woodland, lakes and historic features around it.

Development

The course dates from the resort's modern redevelopment and is generally recorded as opening in 2007. It has remained a single 18-hole resort course supported by a purpose-built clubhouse, Pro Shop and practice facilities.

Today

Castlemartyr operates as a visitor-accessible resort course with resident and international green-fee categories, a driving range, PGA instruction and clubhouse facilities.
