Limerick Golf Courses - Adare Manor Lodges

Adare Manor Golf Course is a favourite of Tiger Woods and one of the finest courses in Ireland.

Legendary architect Robert Trent Jones Sr designed the course which features rock-walled streams and subtle undulating putting surfaces with the Jones signature clover leaf bunkers. A 14-acre lake dominates the front nine holes while the back nine is routed through wooded land. The River Maigue meanders through the course adding beauty and challenge.

Adare Manor is the venue for a bi-annual charity pro-am hosted by J.P McManus featuring many top professionals such as Tiger, Padraig, Ernie and Michael Campbell.

The Cashen (New) Course at the world-famous Ballybunion offers great links golf set against the coast with great views of the Atlantic Ocean.

The course has some narrow approaches to small greens and really requires your iron play to be precise. “When I first saw the piece of land chosen for the new course of Ballybunion, I was thrilled beyond words. I said that it was the finest piece of links-land that I had ever seen, and perhaps the finest piece of links-land in the world. There is no more natural golf hole in the world than the 10th, an outrageously beautiful stretch of God-given terrain.” - Robert Trent Jones

"Having played the Old Course in Ballybunion many times since my first visit in 1981, I am now of the opinion it is one of the best and most beautiful tests of links golf anywhere in the world." Tom Watson - 5 time British Open Winner

Ballybunion is one of the great Irish links courses, expertly maintained with a fair and challenging design on the North West Coast of Co. Kerry.

There are a broad array of shots required with holes having uphill, downhill and side hill lies on the fairways and large sloping greens. The 11th is one of the signature holes, a 446 yard par 4 perched on the cliffs – not for the fainthearted!

Opened in October 1984, Tralee Golf Course was the first European golf course designed by Arnold Palmer. When he first saw the area upon which his company was to build Tralee golf links, he was ecstatic about the possibilities. "I have never come across a piece of land so ideally suited for the building of a golf course," he said.

He later said of his work, “I may have designed the front 9, but surely God designed the back 9.”
