Set on a 900-acre estate in County Limerick, Adare Manor has become one of Europe's most celebrated golf destinations since Tom Fazio's dramatic redesign transformed the course into a modern championship test. The resort itself underwent an equally ambitious refurbishment, creating a luxury experience that earned it the Number 1 European Resort title from Conde Nast Traveler in 2019 and Number 5 worldwide. When The Oak Room Restaurant added a Michelin star to the resort's credentials, Adare Manor confirmed its place at the top table of European golf.
The selection of Adare Manor to host The 2027 Ryder Cup tells you most of what you need to know about the standard here. Put it this way, you do not get a Ryder Cup without getting the basics right, course, service and staying power all have to be top drawer. JP McManus's vision was to create one of the world's most sought-after golf experiences, and the result is a luxury golf resort that delivers. Located within easy reach of Shannon International Airport, the estate combines championship golf with a full range of leisure pursuits, making it ideal for groups who want more than just 18 holes.
Beyond the golf, you'll find facilities for equestrianism, angling, clay pigeon shooting and cycling across the estate. The leisure centre includes a swimming pool and fitness suite, while the Spa at Adare Manor offers a full menu of treatments if you need to recover from Fazio's parkland test.
