The Golf Society within Castleknock Tennis Club is an extension to the many other attractions provided by the Club.  Many tennis players migrate to playing to playing Golf when their Tennis playing days are over, and we have a large number of 'Friends of Castleknock Tennis Club', both Ladies and Gents, who play in our outings.

In 2013, two outings were held, in Luttrellstown and Castleknock.

For further information regarding the Golf Society, contact Ben Connellan, Hon Sec, @ 0868384789, or by email directly to ben.nh.connellan@gmail.com
