The world-famous Palmer Course at the K Club needs no introduction. Ranked regularly as the top parkland golf course in Ireland, this is a must play, 'badge of honor' course that some argue as Arnold Palmer's crowning jewel. With an impeccable championship history including the 2006 Ryder Cup, 2016 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open and 11 European Opens testifies to the importance and much envied reputation for its perfect condition and enjoyable, intelligently designed layout.
The course borders the River Liffey and is surrounded by an abundance of lovely trees and wildlife. It finishes with an extremely dramatic par-5 that will be a favorite of golfers who love to shoot long drives over the tops of hills. In fact, when the great Arnold Palmer was asked if he could have improved on anything at the K Club, he said: "We could draw and plan for 100 years and still not come up with as good a vision." The 4th, 7th, 16th and 17th deserve special mention as the standout holes.
