PROUD HOST OF THE 2021 & 2022 HORIZON IRISH OPEN Designed by Jack Nicklaus, Mount Juliet Estate golf course first opened in 1991 with a friendly match between Jack Nicklaus and Christy O'Connor Snr. Since then, the course has established itself as a premier venue for all levels of golfer. This was highlighted when Mount Juliet played host to golfing legends Tiger Woods, Ernie Els, Sergio Garcia and Pádraig Harrington for the WGC American Express Golf Championship in September 2002 - and again in 2004. Set in the rolling pastures and woodland of Ireland's sunny South East, the course is both captivating and memorable. Tiger Woods' declaration that Mount Juliet Estate presented 'perfect fairways' and the 'best greens we've putted on all year', was a rich tribute to the stature of Ireland's leading parkland golf course. With some slight extensions and new features since opening, Mount Juliet Golf Course has continued to improve in its ongoing pursuit of golfing excellence. Mount Juliet has been recently voted Ireland's Best Parkland Golf Course by the Golfers Guide to Ireland
