Founded in 1898, the course presents commanding views of the town and the sea. Undulating course northwest of Cork with River Shournadh much in play. Course set in a beautiful estate just west of Killarney, opened September 1994, designed by Dr. Arthur Spring. Parkland course opened July 1998 in simply gorgeous Ring of Kerry setting overlooking Kenmare Bay and the Caha Mountains. Original design by Eddie Hackett was completed by Roger Jones.
Greens are highly contoured and landing areas tend to be tight.
In a country of golf courses with beautiful scenery, this may be the finest of them all. Parkland course just south of town, founded in 1891. New course designed by Robert Trent Jones which opened in September, 1995. Already one of the best inland courses in the west of Ireland. Attached to Adare Manor hotel, but not to be confused with Adare Manor Golf Club, a pre-existing club which has not relinquished its name to the new course.
