About the course
The K Club in Straffan, County Kildare, has two championship courses designed by Arnold Palmer and calls itself the only 36-hole Arnold Palmer golf destination in Europe. It opened in 1991, developed by Michael Smurfit, and it is only 30 minutes from Dublin Airport. The resort hosted the 2006 Ryder Cup and the Irish Open in 2016, 2023 and 2025, with another edition planned for 2027.
The Palmer North is one of the most spectacular parkland courses in Ireland and in Europe: demanding, dramatic and with a layout that leaves a strong impression. It was the stage for the Ryder Cup and for eleven European Opens, and it is regularly ranked among the top three parkland courses in the country. Named holes include the 4th, Arnold’s Pick, and the 7th, Michael’s Favourite.
The Palmer South was designed mainly as an inland links, with dune-style mounding and rock features, so it offers a different but equally challenging round. It hosted the European Open in 2004 and 2007, won by Retief Goosen and Colin Montgomerie. The Trackman driving range is located on this course.
