Ryder Cup 2027 in Ireland: Tours & Packages Around Adare Manor
The Ryder Cup brings the world to County Limerick for one week in September 2027. But Ireland has a lot more than one week to offer, and Adare Manor sits at the heart of some of the most beautiful countryside on the island.
People flying over for the golf will spend that week within an hour of one of the great coastal landscapes in Europe and see very little of it. The Wild Atlantic Way is an hour’s drive west. Killarney is 70 minutes south. The Cliffs of Moher are just up the road.
We design private, fully guided Ireland experiences built around your Ryder Cup trip, whether that’s before the first tee shot, after the closing ceremony, or woven around your days at the course.
Why Pair an Ireland Tour with the 2027 Ryder Cup?
The Ryder Cup is a four-day event in a country that deserves fourteen. Tournament play runs Thursday through Sunday, with practice rounds from Monday to Wednesday: which means most fans land into Shannon, Cork, or Dublin days before the first ball is struck and want something to do with the rest of their time.
If you’re planning your Ryder Cup 2027 Ireland trip and want to fill the days around the golf with something genuinely memorable, start here. Here’s what Irish Experience Tours has to offer:
Local Guides
Team
Our guides are born and raised in Ireland. They know the roads, the stories, the hidden spots, and which pub has the best music on a Tuesday night. Work with a dedicated trip planner who manages every detail before you travel and a guide who makes it come alive on the ground.
Our Unique & Independent Stays
We prioritise family-run, locally-owned accommodation: tried, tested, and loved by our team. From boutique country hotels to historic castle estates, every property is chosen because it adds something to the experience, not just because it has beds available.
Local Unique

How to Get to Adare Manor?
Adare Manor is well connected from all of Ireland’s main airports. Here’s a quick guide to getting there.
Shannon Airport — 35 minutes by car. The closest international gateway and the most convenient arrival point for North American visitors flying direct.
Dublin Airport — 2 hours 15 minutes by road, or 2 hours by train to Limerick and 30 minutes onward. Ireland’s largest hub and the most common arrival point from Europe and the UK.
Cork Airport — 1 hour 20 minutes. A great option if you’re planning time in the south-east before or after the tournament.
Kerry Airport (Farranfore) — 1 hour. Ideal if you’re combining the Ryder Cup with time in Killarney or on the Dingle Peninsula.
Limerick City is 35 minutes from Adare by road and has direct rail connections from Dublin and Cork. Official park-and-ride services will operate during tournament week. Check rydercup.com/2027 for the latest transport updates.
Things to Do Near Adare Manor During Ryder Cup Week
Most days at the course run from early morning to early evening. Here’s what’s within easy reach on your off-days and evenings.
Adare Village — 5 min — Thatched cottages, heritage churches, and good gastropubs right on your doorstep. An easy evening walk or morning stop on any day of the week.
Cliffs of Moher — 90 min — One of Ireland’s great natural landmarks, stretching 14 kilometres along the Wild Atlantic Way. Best visited early to beat the crowds.
Killarney National Park — 70 min — Ross Castle, Muckross House, and a jaunting car through 26,000 acres of lakes and ancient woodland. A full and satisfying day away from the golf.
Dingle Peninsula — 2 hrs — The Slea Head Drive hugs the edge of the Atlantic with views of the Blasket Islands and prehistoric stone forts. End the day with traditional music and fresh seafood in Dingle town.
Ring of Kerry — 90 min — Ireland’s most iconic coastal drive. Best done as a full day if you want time to stop and breathe it in.
Limerick City — 35 min — King John’s Castle, the Hunt Museum, and a good pub and restaurant scene. Worth an evening any night of the week.
Bunratty Castle — 45 min — A well-preserved 15th-century castle with a living history folk park. The medieval banquet evenings are a reliable crowd-pleaser for groups.
Galway City — 90 min — The Latin Quarter, Quay Street’s food scene, and easy access to Connemara make it worth the drive if you want a livelier night out.
Where to Stay Around the 2027 Ryder Cup?
Adare Manor will be fully booked for Cup week and accommodation across the region sells out more than a year in advance. Here are the most realistic base options.
Adare Village (5 min) — Limited supply, boutique in character, and the first to go. If you can get something here, take it.
Limerick City (35 min) — The most practical urban base, with good hotel supply and direct rail to Dublin.
Killarney (70 min) — Where most official package operators base their guests. Lively, with plenty of pubs and restaurants.
Galway City (1 hr 30) — A genuine alternative if Limerick and Killarney are full, and a great base for exploring Connemara on non-tournament days.
If you’re building a wider Ireland trip with us, accommodation is included and arranged for you at handpicked, locally-owned properties throughout.

Travelling with a Group?
Heading to the Ryder Cup with four, six, or twelve friends and family? Don’t share a coach with strangers. Our private tours give your group your own vehicle, your own guide, and a completely flexible programme built around the days you’re at the course and the days you’re not.
We can work around any tournament schedule – whether you have tickets for one day or all three competition days – and build everything else around that anchor.
FAQs: Ryder Cup 2027 Ireland
Does Irish Experience Tours sell Ryder Cup tickets or hospitality packages?
No, we are not an official Ryder Cup ticket-inclusive package operator. We design and run small-group and private Ireland tours that you pair with your Ryder Cup trip, whether that’s a custom week around the tournament or a fully bespoke two-week itinerary.
How do I get tickets to the 2027 Ryder Cup?
Tickets are sold through the official Ryder Cup ballot at rydercup.com and through licensed ticket-inclusive package providers including Ryder Cup Travel Services, On Location, Carr Golf, Golf Travel Centre and Your Golf Travel. Irish Experience Tours does not sell tournament tickets: we run the Ireland tours that complement your Ryder Cup trip.
Can anyone play Adare Manor golf course?
Yes, but green-fee access is reserved for resident guests of the Adare Manor hotel. Booking a stay at the resort is the standard route for non-members to play the course. Tee times for the 2027 calendar year are limited due to Ryder Cup preparation.
How long should I spend in Ireland around the Ryder Cup?
We recommend 7–14 days.
The tournament itself runs Monday to Sunday, but most visitors arrive a few days early and stay on afterwards to see the country.
A common pattern is arriving the previous Wednesday, spending 4–5 days exploring before tournament week, attending some or all of the competition, then spending a few days post-tournament in Kerry, Cork, or on the Wild Atlantic Way.
