The Club

Opened in 1991 with a match featuring golfing legends Christy O'Connor Snr. and Jack Nicklaus, the beautiful and challenging MountJuliet course has established itself as a premier golfing venue for Top Professionals and leisure golfers worldwide. Mount Juliet hashosted many major golfing events and welcomed the return of the World's Top 50 golfers to play in the World Golf Championship -American Express Championship in October 2004. The event was a fantastic success with the crowds turning up in their thousands.The holder, Tiger Woods, survived an early injury scare to put up a sterling defence of his title but he and the remainder of the fieldhad to acknowledge the brilliance of South African golfing superstar Ernie Els who finished with a stunning 18 under par total of 270to edge out Thomas Bjorn on the last green. Other events include the Irish Opens of 1993-95 along with the Shell Wonderful World ofGolf match between Tom Watson and Fred Couples in 1998. The par 72, 7300 yard layout boasts rolling fairways, many feature waterhazards and contoured greens, all superbly blended into the spectacular setting of this famous old Irish Estate. Chosen as the firstand only Jack Nicklaus signature course in Ireland, the "Golden Bear" was meticulous and pain-staking in his design and overseeing ofthe construction of his great creation, sited 12 miles south of the medieval city of Kilkenny. Feature holes abound on the course, butthe 3rd hole, a stunning par 3 from an elevated tee to a green guarded by a natural stream and lake is one that golfers alwaysremember. The par 5 10th hole with its copse of trees which tests the golfers strategy is also a favourite. The final hole, a long par 4

with water all down the left and a narrow approach to the green has decided many a tournament result. In preparation for the WGC -American Express Golf Championship that was held here in September 2002 and again in 2004, the Jack Nicklaus design teaminstigated some extensions and new features to the course, showing Mount Juliet's continued pursuit of golfing excellence.

Mount Juliet has recently been voted Best Parkland Golf Course in Ireland by Backspin Golf Magazine, March 2008. This is not the firsttime that Mount Juliet Golf Club has been given such high praise, as Mount Juliet Golf Club won Irish Golf Tour Operators AssociationGolf Course of the year for 2003.
