Mount Juliet Golf Course opened in 1991 with a match featuring golfing legends Christy O'Connor Snr. and Jack Nicklaus. The beautiful and challenging Mount Juliet golf course has established itself as a premier golfing venue for Top Professionals and leisure golfers worldwide. Chosen as the first and only Jack Nicklaus signature golf course in Ireland, the "Golden Bear" was meticulous and pain-staking in his design and overseeing of the construction of his great creation. 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 Golf Club members & guests can avail of the best in golfing on the Jack Nicklaus designed golf course. Set in a world of its own, on lush parkland in the south east of Ireland, Mount Juliet’s Jack Nicklaus course is both captivating and memorable. The acclamation from Tiger Woods that Mount Juliet presented "perfect fairways... and the best greens we have putted on all year." was rich embellishment of the stature of Ireland's leading championship parkland golf course.
"…a tremendous layout and one of the best conditioned courses in the whole of Great Britain and Ireland." Padraig Harrington, PGA Champion
