Cork Golf Club (Little Island)
A rare MacKenzie design in Ireland — quarry holes, estuary views and a Munster classic.
About this course
Set on Little Island in Cork Harbour, this Alister MacKenzie design weaves through old quarry workings and along the estuary edge. Subtle, strategic and beautifully maintained — one of Ireland's most respected parklands and an easy detour from Cork City.
What golfers say
Reviewers single out the famous quarry holes (4, 5 and 6) as "as good as parkland golf gets" and praise the warm clubhouse welcome. A favourite first or last round on any South-West trip.
