Muskerry Golf Course is now considered to be one of the top 18 hole parkland courses in Munster, if not all Ireland.

Twitter:
Insta: The club has 20 Holes and a variety of different course layouts to encompass these holes. The first few holes are relatively flat and leads to the spectacular 6th Hole a par 3 over a river to a green clinging to the edge of a precipice in the yonder distance. Holes 7-10 wind their way was to the top of the hill (where the views are only breathtaking) and the hand of the designer Dr. Alister MacKenzie is very evident. Holes 11-14 again wind around a natural copse of woodland and lead on to the last few holes 15-18, which are considered among the finest finishing holes anywhere in the country.

⛳ From Muskerry to California: Celebrating Jack Fleming

Our course holds a special connection to John “Jack” Fleming, the Galway-born golf course architect and trusted associate of Dr Alister MacKenzie.

Fleming served as head constructor for MacKenzie’s expansion of Muskerry from nine to eighteen holes, with the course ready for play in spring 1925. His work here forms an important early chapter in a career that would leave a lasting mark on golf in California.

He later helped bring MacKenzie’s designs to life at celebrated courses including Cypress Point and Pasatiempo, before establishing his own legacy in course design and the care of San Francisco’s public golf courses.

Their association became a lasting friendship: Fleming served as a pallbearer at MacKenzie’s funeral. In September 2023, his contribution to golf was recognised with induction into the Northern California Golf Association Hall of Fame, represented by his daughter, Maureen Woods.

We are proud to celebrate Fleming’s contribution to Muskerry and the wider game. Our thanks to Fergus Hannon and the Heritage Committee for their continued research and work sharing this history.
