The K Club Golf

The K Club is one of Ireland’s most prestigious golf destinations, set within the historic grounds of a former stately estate along the River Liffey in County Kildare. Home to two championship courses, the Palmer North and Palmer South, the club is best known for hosting the 2006 Ryder Cup, marking the first time the event was held in Ireland. Designed by Arnold Palmer, the North Course combines classic parkland design with modern championship standards, offering immaculate conditioning, strategic bunkering, and tree lined fairways that reward thoughtful shot making.

The Palmer North Course is widely regarded as the flagship layout, featuring water hazards on many holes, subtly contoured greens, and a routing that flows naturally through the estate’s mature woodland. Its reputation was further cemented by hosting multiple European Tour events, including the Irish Open, where elite professionals tested their skills on a course designed to challenge without overwhelming. The Palmer South Course offers a more forgiving alternative, ideal for relaxed rounds while still maintaining high standards of presentation and playability.

Beyond the golf itself, The K Club experience is defined by elegance, attention to detail, and a sense of occasion. From arrival at the grand clubhouse to the final putt, the club reflects Ireland’s ability to blend sporting excellence with refined hospitality, making it a standout stop on any Irish golf itinerary.
