The following message appeared on the club facebook page on 18 March 2020 – “Dear Members
It is with great sadness that we have agreed today that we cannot continue our efforts to keep Killiow open.
All of our projected income sources, green fees, bar, driving range etc, will likely take a significant reduction given the daily news updates.
We would like to thank everyone for all your efforts to keep the club alive, it has been greatly appreciated, but we have been beaten by matters outside of our control.
As a consequence, Killiow Golf Club and Driving Range will be closing its doors for the last time on 31 March.
Kind Regards
Killiow Park Golf Club Committee.

Below are pictures of the course prior to closure.
We would like to thank Paul East who visited the site in October 2020 and sent us the pictures below. Paul also provided the individual hole information.
It would appear that all course perimeters now have electric “fences” installed which means the land will probably be used to graze sheep and/or cattle.
Above shows the current state of the clubhouse/pro’s shop entrance. Looks a bit sad and downtrodden!
The veranda outside of the restaurant.
First tee/fairway. Driving range area was behind the trees on the right.
First green.
View from the second tee. The fairway continues through the gap on the right and bends to the right after this.
Second green.
Seventh tee - raised ground on the right.
On the above picture the tee shot should go between the tree in the centre and the trees on the right. Fairway continued in a gentle bend to the right.
Seventh green.
View of 8th fairway from the tee.
The small bushes in the centre of the above photo are actually reeds. There is a narrow stream which meanders down the centre of the fairway. It was a tricky hole to play!
The 8th hole. The green was to the left of the large tree.
Approach to the 9th green.
Thanks to Paul East who made a further visit to the site on 11 November 2020 and took the pictures below of the former third to sixth holes.
