The K Club
Host venue to the 2016 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open, won in
spectacular style with an eagle on the final hole by home
favourite and event host Rory McIlroy, this long-standing
member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts offers the very best
of pampering, leisure and golf facilities and is only
30 minutes from Dublin.
Built in 1832, on the banks of the River
Liffey, the original house was modelled on a
French château and still retains many of its
original architectural features, art works and
antiques. The luxury Kildare Hotel, opened
in 1991, was Ireland’s first AA Five Red
Star Property. To this day it continues to
deliver the very highest levels of service and
standards in terms of its food and beverage
offerings, golf, leisure and spa treatments.
The challenging Palmer Ryder Cup Course,
designed by golf legend Arnold Palmer,
provided a fitting setting for the 2006 Ryder
Cup and is a must-play for any golfer visiting
Ireland, having also staged 11 European
Opens in addition to this year’s Irish Open.
The K Club’s Smurfit Course, designed by
the Palmer Course Design Company, lies
across the Liffey and offers a different feel
but no less a challenge or experience.
