Stay at Slane Castle on offer to fans for €55,000

WEALTHY overseas golf fans looking for a touch of class during the Ryder Cup could do a lot worse than stay at Slane Castle for the week.

The landmark 19th-century venue, which can sleep 20, is available on an exclusive basis for Ryder Cup week for around €55,000.

Although the Co Meath castle is an hour’s drive from the Ryder Cup base at Kildare’s K Club, golf fans can go by helicopter instead.
