THE GOLF COURSE:
Adare Manor boasts an outstanding 18-hole championship golf course that is located within the estate’s rolling countryside.
The front nine is dominated by a 14-acre man-made lake, while the picturesque River Maigue forms the backbone of one of the best finishing par-5 holes in the world.
The course runs through 200-year-old trees and ranks among the best-ever designed by Robert Trent Jones Senior.
There are other renowned courses within easy reach. Ballybunion is under an hour’s drive away, while an hour and a half suffices for the challenges of Lahinch.
The 72-par Adare course measures 7453 yards off the back tees and will cost you between £55 and £120 depending on the time of the year and the time of the day.
High quality practice facilities are available at the club, club cars and carts can be rented and top quality golfing merchandize is available from the resort’s pro shop.
The best months for golf are spring, summer and autumn.

OTHER ACTIVITIES
– The Adare Manor Equestrian Centre is situated on the parks’ original 1906 stables, built when the Manor was privately owned by the 2nd Earl of Dunraven.
Set in 840 acres of beautiful unspoilt Irish countryside, it provides excellent facilities in idyllic surroundings catering to all riders, from complete beginners to advanced competition.
– Lasersport clay pigeon shooting is a sport, which can be enjoyed by everyone. The players use a modified shotgun to fire an infra-red beam at clays launched from a conventional clay launcher whenever a trigger is pulled. The Lasersport control module / scoreboard generates the shotgun “bang” and when the player hits the target it reproduces the sound of a breaking clay.
An indicator on the gun instantly tells the player whether he has hit or missed the target and spectators and players can see the score of each player on a large electronic scoreboard.
– Angling, the river Maigue at Adare Manor has a good stock of wild brown trout.
– The luxury Spa offers a wide variety of treatments.
