Loughmore Square

A brief History of Killeen CastleKilleen Castle is one of Ireland’s oldest and finest 12th century

Norman castles. The spectacular 600 acre estate is home to

a Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course, the Dave Pelz Scoring

Game Academy, wooded walks, well-stocked fishing lakes

and now, Signature Homes by Castlethorn Construction.

Located just north of Dunshaughlin in the heart of Royal

Meath overlooked by the ancient Hill of Tara, Killeen Castle is

just minutes from the picturesque hamlet of Dunsany. Killeen

Castle offers all the joys of true country living, yet it is only

35 minutes from Dublin International Airport and Dublin

City centre via the N3 motorway. Killeen Castle has been

developed by one of the country’s leading homebuilders and

the developers of Ireland’s premier retail complex, Dundrum

Town Centre.

From the stunning restoration of the castle and the crafting

of the country’s finest golf course, no stone has been left

unturned in creating a living and leisure experience that is

among the very best to be found anywhere in the world.

The history of Killeen Castle dates back over eight hundred

years to 1181, when it was built by Hugh de Lacy as part

of the strategic castle defence system for north Leinster.

From 1403 until the 1950’s, the castle acted as the seat of

the Plunkett family, Earls of Fingal, and their five and a half

centuries of unbroken connection with Killeen Castle is

exceptional by any standards.

Killeen Castle was seriously damaged by fire in 1981 and

lay exposed to the elements for several years. Today the

owners have ensured that after a painstaking and loving

restoration it has been returned to its original splendour. As

a matter of principle, wherever possible, original features

were retained.

Living atKilleen Castle

Killeen Castle is set in 600 acres of County Meath

countryside, nestling in a beautiful woodland setting.

It is a most spectacular backdrop for the Jack Nicklaus

Signature Course and for the quality homes that grace

the course.

It is intended that the magnificent natural landscape of

Killeen Castle will become a daily amenity for its residents,

with walkways and cycleways weaving their way through

the woodland. A beautifully restored walled garden

{pictured below} provides the perfect opportunity to sit

in quiet contemplation.

Killeen Castle hosts a magnificent Jack Nicklaus

Signature Course, which has had a continuous hands-

on involvement throughout its design and construction

from one of the greatest golfers ever to play the game.

With eighteen wins, nineteen runners-up and nine third

placings in the Majors, Jack stands alone in the pantheon

of sport.

Built to provide the sternest of Championship challenges

while remaining accessible to the average golfer, Jack

Nicklaus has created 18 spectacular golf holes at Killeen

Castle, each with its own unique features. The course is

7,600 yards long and covers an area of 350 acres among

superb natural woodlands - more than twice the average

acreage for a championship course.

It is a testament to the quality of the Jack Nicklaus

creation at Killeen Castle that the course was awarded the

hosting of the 2011 Solheim Cup, with Europe prevailing

over the USA 15 to 13 to become ‘Queen’s of the Castle’.

The first Dave Pelz Scoring Game School outside of the

USA is also located at Killeen Castle. Pelz is the renowned

short-game tutor to some of the world’s top professionals.

The clubhouse for this exceptional course is no less

impressive, comprising over 30,000 sq.ft. and completed

to the highest imaginable standards - both inside and

out. It includes state-of-the-art locker rooms, superb food

and a relaxed bar atmosphere. Killeen Castle sets new

standards for Europe and beyond.
