The distinguished golf course architect, Robert Trent Jones Senior, has left his mark on the 840 acres of the estate by creating a truly magnificent championship layout.
When he first visited the site of the 2007 Nissan Irish Open, Trent Jones was struck by the natural beauty of the landscape, so much so that it reminded him of Augusta National. This is the last course designed by the renowned architect, and is a parkland masterpiece. The centerpiece of the layout, and without doubt the focal point, is the 14-acre man-made lake that anchors the front nine. Along with the meandering River Maigue, the numerous hazards that the course is built around make it an entertaining challenge.
With the advent of high-profile tournament golf, there seems no doubt that Adare Manor will continue to build on its already impressive reputation as one of Ireland's most spectacular golf courses.
Adare Manor hosted multiple Irish Opens up to 2009, and the resort is also within striking distance of numerous fantastic courses, including Ballybunion, Lahinch, Waterville and Kinsale.
Voted ‘Number 1 European Resort' by the influential Conde Nast in 2002, Adare Manor offers visitors the absolute best in 5-star luxury. This is a result of the commitment by the resort to provide the highest possible standards of service and facilities, within one of Ireland's most breathtaking settings.
The beautiful Manor House itself is truly stunning, owing to the towers and turrets that comprise its ornate structure. Perched on the banks of the River Maigue, the manor itself boasts 74 magnificent bedrooms, including 11 exclusive Clubhouse rooms, all fitted out in luxurious fashion.
In addition, the estate allows for guests to partake in numerous outdoor pursuits, and the hotel offers superb dining in the sumptuous atmosphere that is so typical of the resort.
In addition to the golf course, the estate provides facilities for equestrianism, angling, clay pigeon shooting and cycling. On the estate, leisure facilities offer a swimming pool and fitness centre, while the Spa at Adare Manor is the perfect place to relax and be pampered, with a variety of health and beauty treatments.
