Course
Water comes in to play on the course on 13 of the holes making it resemble an inland ‘links’ course. The large sloping greens allow for a great variety of pin positions that can change the hole quite considerably. There is an artificial rock feature on the 7th hole which has five waterfalls. This course is located across the Liffey River from The Palmer course which will host the Ryder Cup in 2006.
(Note: The Palmer Course and The Smurfit Course are the courses of the K Club)
