Adare Manor

Overview

The Golf Course at Adare Manor was originally designed by internationally recognised golf architect Robert Trent Jones Senior in 1995. For over 20 years it has been highly respected, deeply admired, and loved by golfers from around the world. When Adare Manor began its spectacular redevelopment project in 2016-2017, it was decided that the golf course also deserved a comprehensive redesign. Renowned American golf course architect Tom Fazio was invited to take on this impressive project, reimagining The Golf Course at Adare Manor quite literally from the ground up. While the order of the holes remains the same, everything else has been transformed. It is now one of just a handful of courses worldwide to have the patented Sub Air technology beneath every putting surface, providing constant air movement for aeration and to moderate the temperature in the root zone. There is no long rough, which means that there is now twice as much cut grass as before: equivalent to 79 hectares, and every green has the advantage of Pure Distinction bent grass, providing the purest putting surfaces available. With major golf events in mind, Fazio has overseen a robust infrastructure of roadways, hospitality arenas and access areas, also ensuring services for tournament power, media and telecommunications. In its first eighteen months of operation, Adare Manor has collected numerous global accolades, capped off with the recent confirmation of its Ryder Cup host venue status. Adare Manor is already familiar to some of the world’s best players, so much so that 2021 Ryder Cup Captain, Padraig Harrington, was consulted on the design of the golf course, providing player insights to Tom Fazio and his team. The JP McManus Pro-Am, the most illustrious event of its kind, has visited Adare Manor on two occasions and will welcome a star-studded cast from both sides of the pond, including Tiger Woods, John Rahm, Justin Rose, Dustin Johnson and Phil Mickelson in July 2021; an opportunity for Ryder Cup hopefuls of the future to get to know the golf course. Outside links golf, this is easily the best golf course in Ireland and perhaps Europe. We strongly recommend you add it to your next Connoisseur Golf itinerary.
