Club Features
The Club
Opened in 1991 with a match featuring golfing legends Christy O'Connor Snr. and Jack Nicklaus, the beautiful and challenging Mount
Juliet course has established itself as a premier golfing venue for Top Professionals and leisure golfers worldwide. Mount Juliet has
hosted 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 field
had to acknowledge the brilliance of South African golfing superstar Ernie Els who finished with a stunning 18 under par total of 270
to edge out Thomas Bjorn on the last green. Other events include the Irish Opens of 1993-95 along with the Shell Wonderful World of
Golf match between Tom Watson and Fred Couples in 1998. The par 72, 7300 yard layout boasts rolling fairways, many feature water
hazards and contoured greens, all superbly blended into the spectacular setting of this famous old Irish Estate. Chosen as the first
and only Jack Nicklaus signature course in Ireland, the "Golden Bear" was meticulous and pain-staking in his design and overseeing of
the construction of his great creation, sited 12 miles south of the medieval city of Kilkenny. Feature holes abound on the course, but
the 3rd hole, a stunning par 3 from an elevated tee to a green guarded by a natural stream and lake is one that golfers always
remember. 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 team
instigated 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 first
time that Mount Juliet Golf Club has been given such high praise, as Mount Juliet Golf Club won Irish Golf Tour Operators Association
Golf Course of the year for 2003.
