Walk in the footsteps of European golf legends
One of the most popular and well-known golf resorts in Ireland is five-star The K Club, Spa and Country Club. Not only is this a top-rated golf resort, but also the venue that saw a crushing European victory over the US in the 2006 Ryder Cup. There are two championship golf courses on this estate, The Palmer Course is the most famous and most challenging of the two, but the Smurfit is no walkover. Both courses feature plenty of strategically placed natural and man-made water hazards, as well as undulating fairways and thick rough.
On the outskirts of Dublin is the impressive Knightsbrook Hotel with its on-site championship golf course. Measuring at over 7,000 yards from the competitive tees, this parkland layout is an oasis of green as golfers work their way through the luscious fairways, immaculate greens and several natural water hazards.
