The golf world took notice when American Express selected Mount Juliet as the venue for their World Championships in 2002 and again in 2004. Further comments would be irrelevant to describe this superb Jack Nicklaus designed layout, on the banks of the river Nore in Co. Kilkenny. Tiger Woods and his fellow players, described the greens as being of the purest quality they had played. The Southeast was on the Golf Map.

Amongst the lesser known golfing gems in the South East are Kilkenny, Faithlegg, Gowran Park, Waterford Castle, Dungarvan, Clonmel, Thurles & Ballykisteen, all of which will allow the visiting golfer experience the true meaning of a golf challenge whilst enjoying the wonderful friendliness of the Irish people.

The Wicklow courses chosen are equally as well known as Mount Juliet. The two championship courses,Druids Glen and Druids Heath are world class. It's neighboring golf course, Woodenbridge will be a challenge to any golfer.
