The K Club has long enjoyed its position among the finest golf resorts in the whole of Ireland and in late 2006 it was catapulted into the worldwide golfing spotlight when the Ryder Cup came to town.
With two stunning championship golf courses, five-star luxury and a fantastic location just a short drive from Dublin. The Palmer North layout is a stadium-style resort course, and at over 7,300 yards from the tips, many commentators have described it as the most difficult inland layout in the country as well as one of the best around Dublin.
