The K Club

The K Club is a luxury 5-star property in County Kildare near Dublin that boasts 140 exquisite bedrooms and suites, providing visitors with a grand Irish country retreat. Idyllically located amongst 550-acres of beautiful countryside on a mile-long private stretch of the River Liffey, guests will find an elegantly restored 19th Century Georgian mansion that was converted into a hotel in 1991.

The K Club is also home to two magnificent championship golf courses – The Palmer North Course which hosted the 2006 Ryder Cup and The Palmer South Course, which hosted the European Open from 1995 to 2007. With plenty of dining options and outdoor activities to try there is something for everyone at this iconic property.

Golf Courses

The K Club offers a unique golfing experience, comprising not one, but two parkland golf courses designed by the legendary Arnold Palmer, whose iconic courses are considered some of the best in Ireland.

Both courses have received significant upgrades and investment in recent years and with such an extraordinary asset – it is the only 36-hole, Arnold Palmer designed destination in Europe – The K Club golf team is looking to the future with the same trailblazing attitude found elsewhere on their 550-acre resort.

Rightly proud of their legacy as a leading tournament destination – having hosted the 2006 Ryder Cup, and the 2023 Irish Open among other championship tournaments – The K Club are also looking forward to welcoming back the Irish Open in 2025 and 2027, as well as the Irish Challenge Tour in 2024 and 2026.

In addition to their landmark courses, the pros over at K Golf World employ the most innovative simulation technologies to assist you in improving your game. While technical prowess will certainly improve after a session at K Golf World, an evening here is also a fantastic way to have fun, socialise and bond with friends or family over drinks and tasty bar bites.

Accommodation

From lavishly appointed, magnificent multi-room suites decorated to the highest, period-appropriate standards, to tastefully furnished, spacious standard rooms that include all the modern conveniences one would expect – with a dazzling array of choices in-between – each and every one of The K Club’s 127 bedroom and suite options reflects their commitment to providing you with just what you need.

All rooms include 24-hour valet assistance, TV, capsule espresso machine, Voya toiletries and a host of other thoughtful extras.

The K Club also offers two exclusive lodge options for guests: The Palmer Lodge and The Straffan Gate Lodge.

The Palmer Lodge features four bedrooms, available as doubles or twins; a dining area and lounge area, and a garden patio. This lodge offers guests luxury self-catering accommodation in a period house that has been restored, renovated and modernised to a very high standard. It is also conveniently located beside The Palmer all-day dining restaurant with its fire pits and open-air terrace, meaning a superb lunch or night out is always on your doorstep.

The Straffan Gate Lodge is luxury self-catering accommodation that offers three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a spacious lounge and a full kitchen. The Straffan is ideal for families or smaller parties seeking an exclusive retreat while still enjoying all the amenities The K Club has to offer. This private residence is within walking distance of resort’s newest dining option – the lively and welcoming South Bar & Restaurant.
