DESTINATION GOLF 2024
The K Club ( Palmer North )
This is big , glamorous parkland golf . Lakes , streams , river , ancient trees , lazy rhythm , and lots and lots of space . The Palmer North course carries an enormous reputation for its design pedigree ( Arnold Palmer ) and for the events it has hosted ( Ryder Cup , European and Irish 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 , swinging greens . You probably won ’ t even mind depositing a ball in the Liffey on the par five 7th ... countless others have done the very same . And those fairways – all 18 of them – were completely re-laid and reseeded in 2022 , providing a major splash of glamour ahead of last year ’ s Irish Open ... one which will be repeated in 2025 and 2027 . Be sure to choose your tees wisely as the middle White tees measure 6,815 yards . The forward Green tees are far kinder at 6,240 yards .
