If ever a golf course reflected the personality of its architect, it is surely this Arnold
Palmer designed course. It may seem odd to describe a golf course as charismatic and
cavalier but from the instant you arrive at the first tee, you are enveloped by a unique
atmosphere. You may have been forewarned that Ireland's first Ryder Cup Venue is no ordinary
golf course, and that it is widely acknowledged as the country's most challenging inland layout,
but still you will be unprepared for the ensuing drama. The North Course is, quite simply,
one of Europe's most spectacular courses. It charms, it entices and invariably, brings
out the very best in your game. It is unlikely that you will be asked to tackle the course
from the championship tees, but this should in no way diminish the excitement of pitting
your wits against Arnold Palmer, for, in a sense, this is precisely what you are about
to do.
