Solheim Cup 2011 Kileen Castle

We at JD Golf Tours are pulling out all the stops to make the next Solheim Cup experience the best ever when Europe and the United States face off at Killeen Castle in September 2011.

About The Solheim Cup

The Solheim Cup is a biennial, trans-Atlantic team match-play competition featuring the best U.S.-born golfers from the Ladies Professional Golf Association (LPGA) Tour and the best European members from the Ladies European Tour (LET). The U.S. golfing Team leads the competition, 8-3, and has never lost The Solheim Cup on home soil. In 2009, the American golfers kept their untarnished home record intact at Rich Harvest Farms with a 16 to 12 final score against the European golfers. The 2011 Solheim Cup will be played from 23-25 September, 2011, at Killeen Castle, County Meath, Ireland.

About Killeen Castle

Killeen Castle, the ancestral home of the Earls of Fingal, sits in a wooded estate in 600 acres in Dunsany, Co. Meath. Set in the historic grounds of one of Ireland's oldest and finest 12th century Norman castles is the Solheim Cup 2011 Golf Course.

Jack Nicklaus, course designer at Killeen Castle, said:

“As the course designer, I am proud to be part of what is happening at Killeen Castle. It is phenomenal, what with the castle as a focal point. You have wonderful facilities to stage The Solheim Cup or the Ryder Cup in the future. It is a very strong course and will be nicely matured for 2011.”

Located just north of Dunshaughlin in the heart of Royal Meath overlooked by the ancient Hill of Tara, Killeen Castle is just minutes from the picturesque village of Dunsany. Killeen Castle offers all the joys of true country living, yet it is only 35 minutes from Dublin Airport and 45 minutes from Dublin city centre. The golfing facilities are augmented by a 30,000 sq. ft.  modern purpose built clubhouse, with parking facilities for 260 cars. In the context of holding The Solheim Cup, the venue provides ample room (500 acres) for public village and hospitality facilities, a television compound, grandstands and spectator traffic flow, all adjacent to the dramatic 18th hole. Killeen Castle is also complemented by a luxury hotel and spa.
