Adare Manor will host the 2027 Ryder Cup tournament
THE company which operates Adare Manor is set to seek planning permission to build 10 accommodation lodges on the grounds of the hotel and resort.
It comes as preparations for the 2027 Ryder Cup at the five-star venue continue to ramp up.
Tizzard Holdings Unlimited Company has advertised its intention to build the lodges, which will be two-storey in height and be self-catering.

If permission is given, they will be linked to a wastewater treatment plant on site, according to the planning notice, with access to be provided through an existing gateway into the resort.
It’s estimated that up to 300,000 people will visit Limerick for the blue riband golf tournament from across the world in September 2027.
This will put pressure on accommodation providers, and many people have already offered their homes out to rent for the duration of the tournament.
Meanwhile, later this month, Adare village will put its best side out for a special community event on the same day the 2025 tournament in New York comes to a close.
While a handover to the Limerick organisers takes place at Bethpage Black on Sunday, September 28, a community engagement day will take place in Adare.
There will be a search for Ryder Cup stars of the future with a competition for children at Adare Pitch and Putt.
Limerick GAA stars will play golf on a simulator provided by Golf Ireland.
Street entertainment will feature, and the Croagh School of Music comhaltas group will perform in the village’s Main Street.
Local pubs will host watch parties of the final day of the 2025 Ryder Cup from 5pm, while there will be a raffle with prizes related to the contest.
RTE Nationwide will be there to film on the day.
And in readiness for this, Adare Tidy Towns will this Thursday evening stage a clean-up of the village.
All are welcome at the village recycling centre from 6pm.
Local councillor and Tidy Towns chairperson Bridie Collins said: “We are taking the initiative to make sure the village is in shipshape.”
With two big years coming up, she said the group are redoubling their efforts - even to the extent that they are organising the planting of blue and yellow flowers to reflect the colours of the European team.
