K Club (Palmer)
This is big, glamorous parkland golf. Lakes, streams, rivers, ancient
trees, lazy rhythm… and lots and lots of space. The Palmer course
at the K Club carries an enormous reputation for its design
pedigree (Arnold Palmer) and for the events it has hosted (Ryder
Cup and European Opens). It is no surprise that it promises all
the frills and thrills you could ask for. The River Liffey squeezes
some holes but many other water features abound on this gently
rolling Kildare landscape. Despite such volumes of water this is
a relaxing round of golf with generous fairways and big greens.
You probably won’t even mind depositing a ball in the Liffey on
the par five 16th… countless others have done the very same. It is
not a tough course but be sure to choose your tees wisely. The
middle White tees measure 6,815 yards; the forward Green tees
measure 6,240 yards.
