Lord Dunraven did not live to see his dream Manor finished in 1852 but his eldest son, the 3rd Earl of Dunraven, did. The home remained in the Dunraven family until 1982 when Lord and Lady Dunraven sold it to an investment consortium. In 1987, the Thomas F. Kane Family of Palm Beach Gardens, Florida, acquired the Manor. The delicate and detailed restoration was completed in 1988 transforming Adare Manor into a world class home away from home. In 1989 the River Wing, indoor swimming pool, and conference rooms were completed. The Robert Trent Jones, Sr. golf course opened in August 1995. Stretching 7,453 yards from the championship tees, Adare Golf Club encompasses 230 acres of lush countryside. The River Maigue meanders through the back nine creating a sense of beauty and challenge. The Spring of 1999 saw the opening of the 18,000 square foot clubhouse. This facility includes men’s and women’s changing rooms, a pro shop, a bar, dining room, and conference rooms. The Townhouses and the luxurious Spa are located in an elegant courtyard close to the Manor and adjacent to the Clubhouse.
Ireland’s premier five-star resort offers a variety of world-class accommodations including 63 Manor House bedrooms, 11 en-suite bedrooms in the clubhouse, 25 charming two and four bedroom townhomes and 46 luxurious Villas which were completed in 2006. In addition to the spectacular golf course, our other facilities include an indoor swimming pool, laser clay pigeon shooting, fitness center and an offsite world class Equestrian Centre.
Adare Manor has indeed entered a new era as Europe’s premier vacation destination offering the finest of Irish hospitality.
