Adare Manor’s Robert Trent Jones Senior-designed golf course has been named the top Parkland Course in Ireland by Golf Digest Ireland Magazine for the eighth consecutive year.

IF Mark Twain truly believed that golf is a good walk spoiled, he obviously never set foot on the Old Head of Kinsale, a course in southwest Ireland cut from apromontory jutting out into the Atlantic Ocean.

ADARE MANOR, the beautifully-located course on thebanks of the River Maigue in Co Limerick, will celebrate this week for one of their most esteemed members, Sean McMahon will be elected president of the Golfing Union of Ireland at their AGM in Carton House on Friday.

LEADING jeweller Gerard Keane could be forgiven for keeping one eye on business as he took yesterday off and basked in glorious Adare sunshine for the opening day of the Irish Open.

Arguably Ireland’s finest parkland course and certainly one of Europe’s best golfing venues.
