Celebrities sing the praises of fractional properties at Firstlight The K Club

Stars from the worlds of entertainment and football descended on the K Club in County Kildare, Ireland, last week to play in the Firstlight Challenge Cup. The event was hosted by Firstlight International to celebrate the launch of fractional ownership  homes in the grounds of the 5-star K Club hotel.

Ronan Keating captained the entertainment team that included presenters Ant & Dec, actors James Nesbitt and Dougray Scott, ex-world snooker champion Dennis Taylor and cricket legend Ian Botham. They played a side led by former England footballer and television pundit Alan Shearer (pictured) that included current and retired footballers such as Kevin Keegan, Steve Harper, David Platt, David Seaman, Gary Speed, Dwight Yorke, Les Ferdinand and Dean Ashton.

The 27-hole match play competition was played on the famous Arnold Palmer course used in the 2006 Ryder Cup. The match went to a playoff and was decided by a stunning shot by Dougray Scott from 150 yards which landed only five feet from the hole.

The celebrities stayed in the Firstlight fractional homes and were full of praise for the resort. Declan Donnelly (Dec) said: “Having watched the Ryder Cup being played here in 2006 and being here now is amazing. The Firstlight properties are very impressive, nicely done and very handy for the golf course. The resort is really special.”

Alan Shearer said: “ I love this place, the two courses are fantastic. I have been a few times with family now and they enjoy it too. When I walked into the Firstlight house I just said wow!”

David Platt said: “Fractional ownership at the K Club …it’s a no brainer as a lifestyle investment.  With all the economic problems around at the moment too it does not make sense to buy a whole property when you use it for just a few weeks of the year.”

There are special introductory prices for the launch starting at €160,000 (£137,000) for a 1/8th share of a two-bedroom duplex apartment, €225,000 (£192,000) for a three-bedroom duplex apartment and from €290,000 (£248,000) for a four-bedroom house.
