Course Description:
Killymoon Golf Club is one of the oldest clubs in Ireland having been one of the nine founding clubs of the GUI. Killymoon has been in its present location since its inception and is located in the grounds of Killymoon Castle. Rumour has it Killymoon Castle was once owned by King George IV who won it on the throw of the dice. Killymoon has many fine and challenging holes that ensure the player of a memorable and challenging game of golf. The 1st is the signature hole at 472 metres off the white stakes it winds its way round the woods and castle as a dogleg right. This hole lets the golfer know he or she is on a golf course to be respected.
Killymoon is playable all year round as it is built on extraordinary sand consistency soil base. Once described by a nameless scribe "the dreary sand associated with a conventional Scottish links is absent from Killymoon, but only to be replaced with a firm old sword and a timeless, sameness of the dunes exchanged for the most diversified views of hills and valleys". Killymoon has a magnificent clubhouse catering for the needs of every golfer before and after his or her round of golf. The warmest Ulster hand of welcome is extended to visitors at this club steeped in history.

Club History
Instituted 1890, affiliated 1891. This club is famous for several reasons. It was one of the nine original founding clubs of the GUI. The club representatives were Hugh Adair and A. W. Gaussan. It was the first club to have a ladies course and to have an All-Ireland open Ladies competition. The Adair family had a lifetime association with the Club. Hugh Adair was a prime figure in the formation of the club, his daughter Rhona, won the British Amateur Championship in 1990. John Adair, a grandson of Hugh, laid out revisions to the course in 1920-21. The club has never changed location since its foundation, which is very unusual for a club so old.
