Mount Juliet Estate

Mount Juliet Golf Course is one of Ireland’s most distinguished parkland courses, set within a grand country estate in County Kilkenny. Designed by Jack Nicklaus, the course is laid out across rolling terrain bordered by mature trees, gentle water features, and wide fairways that reward thoughtful strategy. Unlike coastal links, Mount Juliet offers a different kind of challenge, one that emphasizes precision, course management, and controlled approach play.

The course has earned international recognition for its conditioning and championship pedigree, having hosted numerous professional tournaments including the Irish Open. Each hole flows naturally into the next, with greens that demand accuracy and imagination, particularly on approach shots. The routing balances beauty and difficulty, making it enjoyable for a wide range of playing abilities while still providing a serious test for elite golfers.

Beyond the course, Mount Juliet Estate offers an elegant setting that enhances the overall experience. The surrounding countryside, historic manor house, and river walks create a sense of calm and refinement before and after play. A round at Mount Juliet is not just about golf but about experiencing one of Ireland’s finest inland estates, where sport, landscape, and heritage come together seamlessly.
