So disappointed
After playing today with 2 friends, the first stop on our Irish golf tour, I can’t express how disappointed we all were with the staff( or lack of). Not the first time in Ireland, in fact K club is our 15th Irish course played over 3 trips. Never, I mean never have we had such poor service. From the time we checked in, where the pro shop staff never even said hello! Just continued talking about their upcoming weekend plans, not even eye contact!!! I’ve had warmer welcomes at McDonalds. From there out to … where are we going? Asked a outside cart person “ Where’s the first tee? “I don’t know”. I swear to god, we drove around until we found it. No starter… should we go? Who knows? We just teed off. Played our round, no one at the clubhouse or pro shop when we were done. I have never…ever played even the smallest Muni club where the entire interaction with staff was a total of 2, that’s right 2 sentences, and those not in the least helpful. We paid full freight, £576 euros and not even a hello. The sad thing is it was one our parties 1st trip to Ireland. Needless to say he was underwhelmed. The management at K Club should be ashamed, but I truly doubt they know or care.Reviewer Rating

My favourite back 9 in all Parkland golf. Very risk & reward and good fun if you’re playing 4 Ball better ball match play
A tough layout if you get the Irish weather
Always in good condition
Well priced compared with other top courses in ROI and a Ryder cup venue ticked off the list. Good prices available if you tee of early / twilight
Go play this !!

The best I've played
An absolutely wonderful golf course, every hole has a postcard view from granite valleys to rivers and streams meandering through the holes. Well worth the trip, can't wait to go back and play the Ryder cup course. Played early bird ?60(8-8.30) instead of ?240 and was the first one out loved itReviewer Rating

2 stunning golf courses. The Smurfit has a links type feel about it with large bunkers and plenty of water coming into play on plenty of holes. You can get away with being a bit offline but not too much.
The Palmer is parkland but again lots of water. This is more of a thinkers course where hitting driver on every holes might not be the best option.
Both course are manicured to a high standard as you would expect. Greens fast and true.
