Dublin to Straffan / K-Club

stpehenmc03

Instead of starting a new thread i was wondering if someone could inform me of ways to get out to the K-Club early enough in the morning from o'connell street if need be.

Bus Eireann Route 120 will get you there by 08:10. Check what bus stop it is using.

Just to clarify that's Bus Eireann route 120 (departing from Connolly LUAS Stop, and not Dublin Bus route 120 which would leave you a long way away!!!

The bus stop will leave you at the church, which is about 5 minutes walk to the gate of the K-Club, but the K-Club is a big place and you could have a longer walk once you get inside the grounds.

Another way to get to the K-Club would be to get a dublin bus 67 or 67a to celbridge for the princely sum of 1.90 and then get a taxi from celbridge to straffan (about 10 mins drive, costs 10-12 euro.) The local taxi offices in celbridge are A-Z Cabs on 016273900 and Call-A-Cab on 016270444. This might be cheaper than getting a taxi all of the way.

Slightly quicker option than bus to and taxi from Celbridge may be train to Maynooth (Connolly) and then taxi to Straffan?

Taxi journey would be an extra 1km.

Straffan is 8Km's from Maynooth

yeah if you can get a train at the right time from maynooth, it would probably be quicker. train to maynooth is about 30-35 mins from connolly afaik. bus to celbridge from dublin, early in the morning, wud take at least 50 mins.

stpehenmc03

That seems a better option and gets me there earlier for the weekend mornings. Thanks again everyone for all the help.

Train from Connolly to Maynooth takes 35 mins
Heuston to Hazelhatch takes 20 mins.

Hi,

If you want to get to the KClub for the Europeon championships, get the 120 bus eireann bus to edenderry from the keys accross from the hapenny bridge or from busaras, this stops in straffan where the kclub is and is a 5 min walk from there to the golf course..

heidi21

Yeah but trains to hazlehatch cost 10e return compared to 3 something to maynooth, and also hazelhatch station is in middle of nowhere you could not walk to a taxi rank so i would not advise taking that option.

Also getting the bus to straffan, they usually have feeder buses from the village into the golf course so that would cut down the walking time, as the european championship is not playing on the ryder cup course playing on the other golf course which is a good 20mins walk from bus stop..

Anybody reccomend the best way of gettin there.

Am i to expect a lot more traffic due to music fest and golf tournament?

Visting and aim to be there around 8 Fri eve,Would i be better gettin a train?
