About The K Club

The K Club sits on a historic estate on the banks of the River Liffey in Straffan, west of Dublin, with a five-star hotel at its heart. It is one of the best-known golf venues in Ireland and one of only a handful of European courses to have hosted the Ryder Cup.

Arnold Palmer designed both courses. Palmer North, the Ryder Cup course, is a long parkland layout through mature trees, with the Liffey and several lakes in play; from the back tees it measures over 7,300 yards. Palmer South, which opened later, has a more open, inland-links feel with rolling fairways, water and deep bunkers. Together they make the estate a two-day golf destination.

What to expect on the course

• Championship parkland. Long, tree-lined fairways and water on Palmer North.
• The River Liffey. The river and several lakes come into play on key holes.
• Two different courses. Classic parkland on the North, a more open layout on the South.
• Full practice facilities. Driving range, chipping area, putting green and a golf school.
• Five-star services. Caddies, restaurant, bar, locker rooms and Wi-Fi, with a hotel on the estate.
