Kildorrery Hilltop Golf Society

The society will be up and running from approximately March to November 2024. We host monthly outings to different courses, usually in the Cork, Tipperary and Waterford areas. Obviously the vast majority of our members are from the Kildorrery area but we also have members from Mitchelstown, Cork, Limerick, Dublin, Tipperary and Kerry. Membership of a golf club is necessary to become a full member of the Society but the facility is there for non-members of golf clubs to attend as guests on the day and indeed they are most welcome. It is a great way to spend a day among people you know so well and some that you may not be as acquainted with. There's a long summer ahead (Le Cunamh Dé) and we look forward to another hectic year in the Society and hopefully seeing some new faces on the golf course. Willie O'Connor, Secretary.
