... they want to be, in 2026 the Ryder Cup takes place here.
There are two golf courses and golf clubs that have almost the same name and are just one drive apart:
- Adare Manor Golf Club 18 holes Par 69. is the older - 117 years old
- The Golf Course at Manor 18 Holes Par 72, is young
We stayed here in 1998 - once at The Golf Course at Adare Manor - and played the two courses several times - three years after the opening of The Golf Course at Adare Manor.
The course built by Robert Trent Jones Sr. was already one of the best 20 courses in Ireland.
This stay is remembered for several reasons:
The then very elegant hotel was not able after our arrival shortly after 20 o'clock to serve us a dinner. In the bar we were allowed to enjoy sandwiches...
The hotel room - a suite - was full of insects in our reference - the grates were broken.
On the first day of golf I was asked to change my metal spikes - that was still the case at the time - for the first time in my golfing life.
The course of Robert Trent Jones we liked very much, but the scores were modest. He was very hard to play.
All this led to a conclusion in our notes: we were once here, but not again...
That top course even those of Robert Trent Jones have a short half-life and that here massively built for the Ryder Cup left us curious.
We made the detour to see what happened here.
It has happened a lot, new buildings for the hotel guests and a completely new course.
No one less than Tom Fazio was entrusted with the task. The work took two years. You are very euphoric on the web page - whether rightly still has to show.
The course was good. Playful we have the impression that he is not as heavy as that of Robert Trent Jones.
That may be because we were even wilder, longer and more bendy back then. The age begins to make itself felt. We can still hold our very low HCP, the question is how much longer...
The detour was worth it, it was great fun.
