From the planner

Why we put this trip together

Plenty of people ask us about Ryder Cup tickets, and we can help with those. But a lot of golfers would rather play Adare Manor than stand beside it for a day. The course is only open to people staying at the resort, so we booked the rooms, and the tee time came with them.

We kept this one short: two nights, one round and dinner together in the Manor, nine days after the match. The trade-off is that it’s a single round, the caddie is on top, and the dates are fixed. If you want more golf, tell me how many days you have and I’ll build the south west around it.

The golf course at Adare Manor

Adare Manor was a Robert Trent Jones Sr. course from 1995 until JP McManus bought the estate and had Tom Fazio rebuild it between 2016 and 2018. The holes still follow the same routing across the same ground, but every tee, green, bunker and water feature was rebuilt. It's a parkland course, 7,509 yards off the back, par 72. The course is open to resort guests only. Every golfer has to take a caddie, and the resort doesn't allow double-bagging. If you'd rather ride, you can hire a cart and share a forecaddie between two. Caddie and cart fees are paid at the resort. Adare Manor doesn't publish a handicap limit. There's no rough to speak of. Water is in play on fourteen holes, and the ground around the greens is shaved into run-offs, so an approach that misses by a yard can end up thirty yards away. Andy McMahon, who runs golf at Adare, says it's easy to have a decent score there and very hard to get a good one.

Adare Manor

The River Maigue decides the end of the round. It runs down the right of the 15th, a short par four. The 16th is a par three straight over water, and on the 18th the river cuts across the fairway in front of the house. Pádraig Harrington picked out 15, 16 and 18 before the Ryder Cup as the holes where players would make big mistakes. Richard Finch won the Irish Open here in 2008, on the old layout, after slipping down the bank of the river on the 18th while playing his second shot. Try not to follow him in.

Dr KO Chan made a hole in one on the 4th at Adare Manor in May 2022, on a Lyons Links trip, which makes him a member of our Hole in One Club.
Cian’s take

The itinerary, day by day

Day 1: Arrive · Adare Manor

Day 1 · Monday 27 September · Arrive at Adare Manor

Your driver meets you at Shannon Airport, and Adare Manor is about 25 minutes away. The transport is yours for the whole day, so if you’d rather take the long way round and see the Cliffs of Moher first, tell us and we’ll plan the timing around it. Check in for two nights. The estate is 842 acres, and the walk down to the river is worth doing before dinner.
Day 2: Golf · Adare Manor

Day 2 · Tuesday 28 September · Golf at Adare Manor

Breakfast, then a short walk to the first tee.

You’re playing the course that hosted the 2027 Ryder Cup nine days earlier. Anyone not playing has the spa, the pool, padel, archery, falconry, fishing, the sports simulator and an axe-throwing range, all booked and paid at the resort. In the evening the group sits down together for dinner at the Manor.
Day 3: Depart · Shannon

Wednesday 29 September · Depart

Breakfast and check out. Transport today isn’t in the package, so tell us your flight and we’ll add it. Shannon is about 25 minutes away, and if you’re flying to the US you clear US immigration there before you board.

If you’re not flying straight home, Ballybunion, Lahinch, Waterville and Tralee are all within reach. Tell us how many days you have and we’ll add them on.

Getting there and getting around

Fly into Shannon. Your driver meets you there, and Adare Manor is about 25 minutes away. Shannon has US preclearance, so on the way home you clear US immigration before you board and land as a domestic arrival.

US and Canadian passport holders don’t need a travel authorisation in advance to visit Ireland. This trip stays in the Republic of Ireland, so the UK’s travel authorisation for Northern Ireland doesn’t apply. Everything is in euro.

Once you’re at Adare Manor, nobody needs to drive. The course is a short walk from your room and Adare village is just outside the gates.

Dates

This trip runs once, from Monday 27 to Wednesday 29 September 2027, with golf on Tuesday 28th. There are twelve rooms.

How this trip fits around the Ryder Cup

Questions about playing Adare Manor

No. Adare Manor’s course is only open to people staying at the resort, so a tee time comes with a room. That’s why this trip is two nights.

Do we need caddies at Adare Manor?

Yes. Adare Manor requires a caddie for every golfer and doesn’t allow double-bagging. If two of you take a cart, you can share a forecaddie instead. We book it with the resort before you arrive, and you pay for it there.

Can we take a cart?

Yes. Carts are available to hire at the resort, and two golfers on a cart share a forecaddie.

Is there a handicap limit?

Adare Manor doesn’t publish one.

Is this a Ryder Cup ticket package?

No. The 2027 Ryder Cup runs from 17 to 19 September and this trip is from 27 to 29 September, so there are no match tickets in it. If you want the match itself, we’re an Official 2027 Ryder Cup Tour Operator and can help through our Ryder Cup page.

It’s a parkland course, rebuilt by Tom Fazio in 2018 on Robert Trent Jones Sr.’s original routing: 7,509 yards, par 72, with water in play on fourteen holes and almost no rough. The greens and the run-offs around them are where you drop shots.

What can non-golfers do?

There’s the spa, the pool, padel, falconry, archery, fishing, a sports simulator and an axe-throwing range on the estate, and Adare village is just outside the gates. Non-golfers are on the same package and join the group dinner.
