IMG has announced that Mount Juliet Estate have joined the IMG Prestige global reciprocal network. Host to two editions of the World Golf Championship and three Irish Opens, the club has also recently announced that the 2020 Dubai Duty Free Irish Open will be played on their Jack Nicklaus designed course.
Mount Juliet Estate is a 5* resort set in over 500 acres of countryside. On the Estate there are 125 bedrooms split between a Georgian Manor house and the Hunter’s Yard both offering 5* standards and a wealth of activities. To match the golf course, the resort also offers equestrian, fishing and other estate activities along with their own dining experience in the Michelin Star restaurant, the Lady Helen.
Mount Juliet was a family home until 1989 and the Manor house remains one of Ireland’s finest country houses, as well as being Co. Kilkenny’s most acclaimed country Estate.
Russell Hannah, Senior Director, IMG Golf, commented: “We are delighted to welcome Mount Juliet to the IMG Prestige network. It’s a renowned tournament venue and it is great news that the Irish Open is returning to the resort next year. We are confident that IMG Prestige members from around the world will enjoy discovering the resort and playing the impressive Jack Nicklaus course”.
