Situated amid the lush countryside of County Kildare 15
miles from Dublin - Ireland's only 5 Red Star Hotel and the venue
for the 2006 Ryder Cup; the K Club needs little introduction.
The K Club is set in the fabulously restored Straffan
House Georgian estate, within 300 acres of gardens, walks and delightful
countryside, and is of course home to two world famous golf courses. The
Smurfit Course (named after the estate's owner) where the Smurfit
European Open is held and of course the Arnold Palmer designed course,
the venue for the 2006 Ryder Cup.
The hotel certainly lives up to its billing, displaying
the utmost in opulent luxury and the highest standards of service in all
quarters. The classically laid out hall and lounge areas are handsomely
furnished with fine antiques and richly decorated with famous art works
and paintings, including a private collection of the works of Irish painter
Jack B. Yeats.
This sense of understated elegance is continued in the
hotel's deluxe bedrooms and sumptuous suites. Each has been decorated
in its own unique style and offers every luxury you would expect and even
some you wouldn't! And even the bathrooms are individual and lavishly
spacious.
The K Club also boasts some of the finest dining in the
land. From elegant formal dining in the Byerley Turk, one of Ireland's
most acclaimed restaurants, which serves award winning cuisine from a
sumptuous French menu with a unique Irish interpretation. To the stylish
and informal setting of the Legends Restaurant in the Clubhouse, overlooking
the 18th Green.
The facilities at the K Club include a full health and
leisure centre with a complete range of Spa and beauty treatments and
as well as of golf, the K Club offers a huge range of activities, from
Fly fishing on the River Liffey, coarse fishing and horse riding, to extensive
walks through the grounds.
