The K Club Golf Course

The Kildare Country Club, known as The K Club, was developed by the Jefferson Smurfit Group - one of Ireland’s largest companies. The Estate, which they acquired in 1988, is rich in history and dates back to the 6^th century. The club is located about 15 miles west of Dublin, just into County Kildare.
    Designed by Arnold Palmer, it is one of the newest additions to Irish golf. Palmer produced a fantastic layout, which cleverly uses the existing woodland and water. The course has already hosted the 1992 and 1993 Irish Professional Golf Championship. The Smurfit European Open, which is ranked in the top 5 tournaments on the European Tour, has been held at the K Club from 1995 to 1998. The course offers golf in lush, wooded surroundings bordered by the river Liffey.
    Visitors are welcome daily except 1:30 pm to 2:30 pm and Saturdays 9:00 am thru 1:00 pm. Facilities at the club are second to none and there is a wide choice of sporting and non sporting activities.
