Adare Manor 2026 Ryder Cup venue

[robinthehood]

I think the coaches are somewhat more to due with which ones have the best online exposure...

But the courses, nope. They are properly evaluated. If you were to play Sunningdale, the Brabazon and Turnberry for example you would see why they are highly rated. You’d also still be able to clearly see which ones are better.

Its all subjective, you only have to see the views on TOC to see that.

Oof You believe the top coaches, courses etc are anything other than made up?🤣🤣

You're showing your lack of knowledge now.

About what? Made up lists?
Which one do i use, google top 100 courses and there is list after list after list.

I’d imagine those top 100 lists probably have 90/95 the same courses. Obv exact rankings are subjective. But it’s still an indicator of quality.

I stand by the Lakes / Links. It has been described as such by multiple publications and commentators.

A parkland would be tree lined fairways. I personally wouldn't describe it as a parkland, the way you would think of the Belfry, Celtic Manor, Adare Manor etc.

What do you mean by "made up list"?

You will be surprised how different some of the lists are, compare TGs to GM top 100 of UK/Ireland. There are some differences, will have to cross check as have some spare time on my hands as not got much work in(ignoring ones that GM exclude, when TG doesn't)

I do remember Machrihanish dunes are not in top 100 in GM but quite low in TG. Even rubbish Dundonald ()makes top 100 on TG iirc but doesn't make GMs list, lots of differences. Walton Heath was wildly different in listing number iirc

Do agree on the quality comment

All nice courses for sure.
I'm also sure if i had enough cash i could build a course and get it in to the top 100.

So if you remove the trees on a parkland course it becomes a links?

 

[Deleted member 1147]

Surely Le Golf National is a stadium course, which is, of course, just a parkland with hillocks!

...and if you plant trees on a links it becomes heathland ?

Not necessarily - but it would probably have more of a moorland / heathland feel to it, depending on the native plants.

I think you may have missed the point about what constitutes a links course.

Just any course with no trees innit?

Just done the comparison and you were pretty much correct at around 90ish. Some largeish difference on listing number, have it on a spreadsheet if anyone is sad enough to want it

I don't know if you have just created a new category but I was sat here nodding at your description . That is a pretty good description.

 

[Backache]

Pocket change.

I'll book 5 nights and 6 rounds of golf, tip the caddy 70 on top of their fee

Cheapskate

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Given the success of the Open at Portrush it makes perfect sense to host it in Ireland especially given their strong links to RC history. With all the investment made to the course it suggests they know something and are already making the necessary preparations

 

[HomerJSimpson]

Seems like a done deal now https://www.golf-monthly.co.uk/news/tour-news/adare-manor-to-host-2026-ryder-cup-183707

...
Absolutely extortionate price to play. Around 375 euros per round and you need a caddy which is 70 euro on top...

Just had a quick look, Le Golf National are offering a stay and play deal at €220pp for 2 players over the summer. Having been there in september on the Sunday, I know where i'd rather put my green fee cash!
