LETTER FROM SANDY JONES

“It has been the ambition of the PGA for a number of years to create and develop a spiritual home for the PGA in Ireland where we could establish a centre of excellence for golf.

The criteria for choosing a suitable golf venue as our partner was rigorous and this meant that only a course deemed by experts to be in the top ten in Ireland would be considered.

From the start of our search it was clear that Palmerstown House met all of our requirements and quickly became our preferred choice. As you will hopefully experience for yourself, the reasons for this were abundantly clear. Its location, the layout of the golf course, the facilities and the unique ambience of the setting all contributed to Palmerstown House being chosen.

The golf course at Palmerstown House is one of the best new courses I have visited in recent years and I believe it will not be long before it is hosting some of the world's most prestigious golf events. Palmerstown House is a welcome addition to the existing PGA family, which includes Gleneagles in Scotlland and The Belfry in England. I believe the whole Palmerstown House experience is something that golfers will treasure for a lifetime.”
