Cork Golf Club
A historic journey by MacKenzie
Nestled on the Little Island peninsula, facing Cork Harbor and the River Lee estuary, the Cork Golf Club is an iconic century-old course in Ireland. Created on unique soil, combining raw nature and ancient limestone quarries, it owes its fame to the genius of the legendaryDr. Alister MacKenzie, who redesigned it in 1925. This master of golf architecture is particularly known for having designed Augusta National, Cypress Point and Royal Melbourne.
