in Ireland, this Arnold Palmer
designed golf haven is a must
play ‘badge of honour’ that has
hosted many of the top golf
players in the world.
The best way to describe
the Arnold Palmer-designed
Smurfit Course at The K Club is
that of an inland links course.
However, its true attributes do
not stop there. The course has
many dramatic landscapes
with dune-style mounding
throughout. This assists in
making the course into a true
championship course with
greens designed to test your
putting skills .
The ‘Quarry Hole’ is one of the
THE
K CLUB
IREL AND’S
RYDER CUP VENUE
The ‘Quarry Hole’ is one of the most spectacular holes
on this course and features a vast man-made rock
face that rises some 60 feet out of a glorious lake. A
series of waterfalls cascade from the water hazard
but its beauty belies its treachery and players are well
advised to admire the view from the centre of the
fairway!
This course has played host to some of golf’s most
exciting moments. Who could forget the excitement
of the 2004 Smurfit European Open when Retief
Goosen went on to win just two weeks after taking his
second US Open title? Or the closing stages of the
2007 Smurfit European Open, when Colin Montgom-
erie finally ended his 18-month drought without a
trophy and somehow stayed out of the water on the
18th to win the European Open?
Committed to ensuring your group has the best day
possible, the team at The K Club can arrange a variety
of additional extras to enhance your day. From pre/
post round dining in their selection of dining outlets
to goody bags, course competitions and scorecard
management, The K Club has it covered. Person-
alised items can also be arranged for larger groups
on request through the resort’s two pro shops. Items
include golf balls, polo shirts, hats and much more.
With two championship courses, offering 36 of the
most exciting and dramatic holes in Europe, golf at
The K Club is a truly unique experience.
