Adare Manor- hole 18 Aerial
Adare Manor Golf Course is a lovely parkland course in Limerick, Ireland.
It is set in the grounds of an 18th century manor house once home to the Earls of Dunraven.
The original course was designed by Robert Trent Jones Snr. and opened for play in 1995.
In 2015 Irish businessman J.P. McManus bought the site and employed Tom Fazio to redesign the course.
It re-opened for play in September 2014.
No expense has been spared in upgrading either the course or the magnificent Manor House at Adare.
It has been estimated that McManus purchased Adare Manor for 30 million euros and has spent another 200 million since!
His aim was to make Adare Manor one of the leading luxury hotels in the world, and from our experience he may well have already achieved that.
He also wanted to bring tournament golf back to Adare and with the Pro Am in 2022, and The Ryder Cup in 2027 he is well on the way to doing so.

Course
Adare Manor- hole 13 green
Adare GC is a pretty parkland course set in a rolling country estate setting.
The more memorable holes on the course feature water hazards, but the bunkering throughout is impressive.
The course is beautifully manicured, and a unique golfing experience in a particularly attractive garden like landscape.
Caddies accompany each group, enhancing what is a very upmarket, very Irish adventure.
Off course, the facilities are as good as it gets- the accommodation, meals, gardens and other activities really are world class.
It all adds up to a wonderful golfing experience and memorable stay
