There are two magnificent 18 hole championship golf courses, the Palmer Course and the Smurfit Course. Both are designed by Arnold Palmer but each has its own characteristics and special set of challenges. The K Club is home to the Smurfit European Open since 1995, and venue for the Ryder Cup 2006. The Arnold Palmer designed golf courses are recognised as among the finest in Europe. You may have been forewarned that Ireland's first Ryder Cup Venue is no ordinary golf course, and that it is widely acknowledged as the country's most challenging inland layout, but still you will be unprepared for the ensuing drama. The Palmer Course is, quite simply, one of Europe's most spectacular courses. It charms, it entices and invariably, brings out the very best in your game. The best way to describe the Smurfit Course at The K Club is that of an inland links. However, its true attributes do not stop there. The Course has many dramatic landscapes with dune type mounding throughout.
