K Club, Palmer and Smurfit Courses, Straffan, Kildare, Ireland

Recently, no Irish course has hosted as many international competitions as The K Club, annual host of the Smurfit European Open on the European PGA Tour. It has already become very familiar to US golf fans, thanks to the coverage each year on The Golf Channel, and will soon attract even more of the masses as the 2006 Ryder Cup nears, to be held on this very course. What a test awaits, a demanding Arnold Palmer design in the most Irish of settings, what with the River Liffey flowing by, the beauty of the grounds, and the magnificent hotel. Perfect for playing on the way to or from Dublin, we suggest spending at least a night here on your way from coast to coast in Ireland!
