Resort Overview
While your stay at The K Club features modern luxury, it is one of the oldest golf resorts in the world, with its estate dating back to 1832. Though the property has changed hands multiple times over the past 200 years, it has risen to golfing prominence lately, hosting the Irish Open in 2016, won by Rory McIlroy. It also hosted in 2023, and will host again in 2025 and 2027. This golf property is clearly worthy of the best players in the world. When not ripping around the courses designed by Arnold Palmer, guests will find any number of outdoor activities, includng clay-pigeon shooting, archery, horse riding and fishing. Life is best spent outdoors at The K Club, but when the sun sets, there is an array of restaurants or bars awaiting you.
