Adare Manor
Adare, Limerick, Ireland • Public
Overview
Adare Manor was one of the last that Robert Trent Jones’ firm designed (he passed away, at age 93, in 2000). The course was laid out over an attractive country estate in County Limerick with holes that play on either side of the River Maigue. The property has been the site of a luxury hotel and was purchased a decade ago by an Irish billionaire who initiated a significant reinvestment, highlighted by Tom Fazio’s remodel of the course. Fazio works primarily domestically and only the most premium of commissions have motivated him to take on international work. Adare Manor fits the bill. The entire course was stripped and redesigned, including the installation of SubAir systems under the greens. The course has the reputation for being the finest conditioned in Ireland with a number of engaging holes that should produce excitement during the 2027 Ryder Cup. These include the par-3 16th with a 90-yard deep green (it can play to a four- or five-club difference depending on the tee) and the par-5 18th where players will have to hit long approaches over the river if they want to get to the green in two.
