Already, the resort has been selected as the venue in 2011 of the Solheim Cup, when the best female golfers in Europe will compete against their opposite numbers from the US.

The Killeen demesne was the ancestral home of the Plunkett family for close on 600 years; St Oliver Plunkett was a member of this distinguished family. The demesne of Killeen was created in 1181 by explaining why even today, the Killeen estate is much Hugh de Lacy. Sir Christopher Plunkett, deputy Lord larger than its next door neighbour.

    IRELAND & SCOTLAND 2009/10 www.BrendanVacations.com 15th-century Ross Castle overlooks the Lower Lake in Killarney 2 | www.BrendanVacations.com Welcome Dear Traveler, Taking a vacation to Ireland and Britain is exciting! Wouldn’t it be great if you knew someone who has personally been there to guide you though the experience? For over 40 years, Brendan has been helping travelers plan, book and enjoy their special vacation. Whether it’s on your own, with a guide and a group of like-minded travelers, or a combination of the two, we will help you make it the vacation of your dreams. It starts with your reservation. One of our experts will personally handle all the details, make sure you have the information you need, share ‘insider’ destination secrets and answer your questions. When it comes to Ireland and Britain, my father and I know this part of the world intimately (some would say, better than anybody). My father grew up in Dublin, and I have visited many times, plus we’ve both been to England, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales on numerous occasions. We have explored it all, from the famous ‘must see’ sights to little out-of-the-way local favorites. When we design our tours, we do so with the same care and thought that we use for our own personal vacations. Britain and, especially, Ireland hold a very special place in our hearts, and we look forward to sharing them with you. “Taking You Personally” is more than our slogan. It’s the way we want to be treated….so it is the way we want to treat you and every Brendan traveler.

  • GROW the GAME BEAT the COMPETITION
    Irish Ladies Golf Union PLAYER DEVELOPMENT VISION 2015 - 2018 GROW the GAME BEAT the COMPETITION WELCOME Message from Brege McCarrick (ILGU Chairman) The ILGU Vision, “Grow the Game, Beat the Competition”, sets out a challenging agenda for the union, players, coaches, staff and volunteers for the next three years. The Vision and associated Strategy will focus on increasing the numbers of young girls and ladies playing golf and providing a wide range of high quality player centred programmes by highly skilled coaches, staff and volunteers. To implement the Strategy successfully, we will need to work collaboratively with and have the support of golf clubs, the Confederation of Golf in Ireland, the Irish Sports Council, Sport Northern Ireland, the Irish Institute of Sport, Sports Institute of Northern Ireland, the Professional Golfers Association and most importantly our coaches, staff and volunteers. I would particularly like to acknowledge the ISC, SNI and the R&A for the much needed funding which they afford a number of our programmes. In this Strategy we are committed to delivering results with this funding by increasing the numbers of players and improving their skills development. I am confident that this Vision, through the associated Strategy and its Action Plan, will be delivered successfully by 2018. INTRODUCTION The landscape of Irish Ladies Golf has changed greatly over the past decade in relation to all aspects of the game from grass roots, retention through to development, performance and the professional game. Further changes are likely to occur in the coming years and the Board believe it is necessary to take a strategic approach to player development.
