Accommodation
There
are 32 bedrooms at Mount Juliet House, including two presidential
suites. Each room is individually designed, in keeping with
the concept of a private, family home. Each room is also
named, drawing inspiration from the history of the state.
To compliment all of the services provided by the staff
of the house, all guest rooms have fresh fruit and flowers,
while in the evening as you prepare for dinner, the beds
are turned down, the lamps are lit and the drapes drawn.
Golf
- Jack Nicklaus Signature Course
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.
