Mount Juliet Estate

The sylvan setting of the Mount Juliet Estate is home to one of Ireland ’ s most popular parklands . The course was designed by Jack Nicklaus , and opened in 1991 . Mount Juliet Estate also boasts two magnificent hotels and the Michelin-starred Lady Helen Restaurant . This is top-tier stuff and the course is just as elegant , sweeping over the landscape , through the trees and throwing in the occasional but dramatic splash of water – the 3rd , 4th 13th and 18th most notably . It is a generous course where golfers of all abilities will find plenty to excite them , be it the short par three 3rd over water , the tree enshrined setting around the 13th green or the par five 17th , curving between sentinel-like oaks . But perhaps most exciting of all is the entire package , because the Mount Juliet experience is something truly special . All of that was on show during the 2021 and 2022 Horizon Irish Open .

Favourite Hole
The par four 4th can be a knife in the heart so early in the round but it is a beauty . You drive straight through a tight channel of trees to a flag always on view but protected by water .
What ’ s in the Bag ?
Mount Juliet is all about the approach shot . This is where the best challenges lie and where your scorecard will tick over or peter out .
