There are two Golf Clubs in Kenmare
Ring of Kerry Golf & Country Club:Famed for its spectacular scenery, its VIP playing guest list and the intoxicating hospitality of the Kerry people, the Ring of Kerry Golf & Country Club provides the perfect venue for any discerning golfer visiting Irelands South West.
A driving range is also available. Kenmare Golf Club:This course is a real test of golf in a unique golfing environment and while it can be very exacting for a good golfer, it is never unfair to the weak.
