The K Club, the 550-acre Straffan estate just outside the Irish capital with its luxury five-star hotel and two championship golf courses, was bought recently by Dublin-based businessman, Michael Fetherston.
Under its new owner, The K Club is now about to embark on a multi-year investment programme, transforming the property with a series of significant developments and refurbishments. The focus is not just on capital expenditure but also on the delivery of an energised and welcoming visitor experience.
General Manager and The K Club CEO, Michael Davern says:
“Since opening in 1991, The K Club has had an unparalleled reputation both as a hotel and as a golf resort. This is a very exciting new chapter in the resort’s history. Michael Fetherston, our new owner, has been a long time member of the The K Club, and Michael and his family will be very hands-on with the management team in implementing his long-term vision for the resort.”
The K Club is about to launch a significant programme of investment across the entire estate and both golf courses.
