Cork City FC Golf Classic, powered by Airtec Compressors
At Killymoon Golf Course · Cookstown, Co. Tyrone
At Killymoon Golf Course · Cookstown, Co. Tyrone
A charity golf classic at one of Ulster’s oldest and most characterful parkland courses, this annual August tournament at Killymoon Golf Club draws golfers of all abilities for a full day of competition, prizes, and socialising. Sponsored by Airtec Compressors, it is a good reason to visit a club that has been welcoming visitors since 1889 - and a course that rewards good ball-striking rather than just low handicaps.
Killymoon Golf Club sits in the historic grounds of Killymoon Castle on the edge of Cookstown, and the parkland setting gives the 18-hole layout a genuine sense of occasion. The course plays to a par of 70 over just over 6,000 yards, with tree-lined fairways, water features, and well-maintained greens. The signature hole - the 343-metre par-4 tenth, known as Giant’s Grave - demands accuracy off the tee on a narrow-necked fairway that punishes anything wayward.
The format is an 18-hole competition with prizes on the day. Events like this typically run as a scramble or stableford, giving teams of mixed ability a fair shot. Alongside the golf itself, there is entertainment and the usual convivial atmosphere of a club classic - lunch or refreshments, a prize-giving, and plenty of conversation about what went wrong on the back nine. Airtec Compressors have come on board as headline sponsor, which usually signals a well-run, well-prized event with proper backing behind it.
Cookstown sits in the centre of Mid Ulster, roughly equidistant from Belfast, Derry, and Armagh. From Belfast, it is about 45 minutes via the M1 and A29. From Derry, take the A6 and A29 south, around an hour. The club is on Killymoon Road on the southern edge of the town - signposted from the main A29 Cookstown bypass. Parking is available at the club. Public transport to Cookstown is limited, so a car or a lift with fellow golfers is the practical option.
Cookstown is a working market town with a long Georgian main street - one of the longest in Ireland - and a strong GAA and sporting culture. The surrounding Mid Ulster countryside is easy to explore, with Lough Neagh less than twenty minutes to the east. There is more to see in Cookstown and across Co. Tyrone.
