Mahon Golf Club

Mahon Golf Course is Ireland's first purpose-made municipal golf course, located on the Mahon Peninsula in Cork. Designed by renowned Irish architect Eddie Hackett and commissioned by Cork City Council in 1978, the course was officially opened on September 3rd, 1980, as the Ted McCarthy Municipal Golf Course. The 18-hole course was financially supported by the Golfing Union of Ireland during its development.

The course presents a challenging test for golfers of all skill levels. Built on the peninsula's distinctive terrain, it offers a notable setting that takes advantage of the local landscape. As a municipal course, it serves as an important public golfing facility in the region, welcoming both visitors and members throughout the year.

The course continues to operate as a significant recreational golf facility in Cork, with comprehensive amenities including visitor green fees, season memberships, buggy hire, and equipment rental options. Its historical significance as Ireland's pioneering purpose-made municipal course marks it as an important landmark in Irish golf development.
