Known as 'Inis Mor', this 606-yard double-dogleg par 5 routes past trees, water, and punishing rough before depositing players at a 19th-century iron bridge crossing the River Liffey to an emerald island green hugged on both sides by the river. Reaching it in two requires a second shot of roughly 230 yards over the Liffey — a genuine risk-reward proposition that defined the 2006 Ryder Cup's final stages.
On 550 acres along the River Liffey in County Kildare, The K Club is Europe's only 36-hole Arnold Palmer destination and Ireland's first AA Five Red Star hotel.
Palmer North, opened in 1991, staged the 2006 Ryder Cup — the first ever played in Ireland. Palmer South, added in 2003, gives the estate two distinct championship tests across the Liffey parkland.
Twenty thousand square feet with seven treatment rooms, private suites, a pool, outdoor hot tub, and Zen Garden, with treatments built on the Natura Bissé line.
