Can I drive myself to the K Club for the Ryder Cup?

Question

I am going to be in Ireland for the Ryder Cup. We are staying in Dublin and have a rental car. Someone told me that we can't drive there (& park there) but that we must reserve seats on Irish rail and take the train & shuttlebuses. Is this true? Why can't I drive to the Ryder Cup? Please help as I actually leave today!

Answer 1

i believe there's a 2 mile radius around the town where its being held, all locals have had there registration plate details and id cards given out so they can get into the town, but i think once u have a ticket for the event u'll be allowed into the town and so id say there's parking places available

Answer 2

Hi, give Mary M best answer, she's the only one who got it right... first unfortunately!!! lol. Only shuttle buses and residents, oh and of course the golfers will be allowed into straffan for the week, starting today actually!!!
