Kilkenny hotel crowned Ultimate Resort, wins Six 59Club UK and Ireland Awards

Following the success of last year’s inaugural 59Club Global Awards, Mount Juliet Estate has delivered a standout performance winning six prestigious awards at the UK and Ireland Awards including the coveted title of Ultimate Resort.

The recognition is based on independent mystery shopping data and in-depth performance analysis. Mount Juliet Estate’s  achievement included:

Ultimate Resort

Gold Flag Resort

Food & Beverage Manager of the Year (Eddie Devane)

Golf Operations Team of the Year

Golf Manager of the Year (Matt Sandercock)

With a world class golf course designed by the legendary Jack Nicklaus, Mount Juliet Estate’s Signature 18-hole championship course has five lakes strategically constructed to enhance six of the holes, while over 80 bunkers are positioned throughout the layout, creating both aesthetic beauty and endearing challenge. The standout 16th hole presents the course’s most unusual feature, a walled green almost entirely surrounded by a bunker.

"These wins demonstrate our commitment to world-class service both on and off the course," said Director of Golf Matt Sandercock. "I am incredibly honoured to be amongst the winners from Mount Juliet Estate.”

Mark Dunne, General Manager said: "To be acknowledged by the 59Club Global Awards and once again at the UK and Ireland Awards is incredible and would simply not be possible without our incredible dedication of our entire team."
