The K Club (Palmer North)

For this Pumas vs GB&I Lions Tour we chose The K Club as our lodging option and we couldn’t have made a better choice for what we wanted and needed.

A Ryder Cup Icon and a possible sanctuary for those in search of something softer than the coast.

The K Club's Palmer North Course, located in Straffan, County Kildare, Ireland, is a renowned golf course designed by the legendary golfer and course architect Arnold Palmer.

A great tournament course…which I look forward to playing in better weather!

The 2006 Ryder Cup course at the K Club, now called the Palmer North, provided a memorable event for all sorts of reasons but has come in for a fair amount of criticism subsequently.

This Arnold Palmer and Ed Ault designed golf course is a prime example of all that is wrong with the venues chosen when Europe hosts the Ryder Cup.

Water hazards obviously bring excitement to the game but too much of them make it tedious.

I believe crticism should ilicit a positive result leading to learning and improvement rather than simply disenchantment.

Played it for the first time in August.
