The 22nd edition of the awards recognised the future Ryder Cup venue’s consistently high standards and quality of the course. Following the extensive redevelopment, which was completed in 2018, the parkland course is quickly developing its reputation as being one of the best resorts in the world.

Industry figureheads and top players alike are rich in praise for the Tom Fazio design, in particular, it’s pristine conditioning. 

The IGTOA (Ireland Golf Tour Operator Association) represents Ireland’s leading Golf Tour Operators as well as the many companies that form the wider Irish Golf Tourism Industry.

 

The 22nd Gala Irish Golf Awards fell on a banner year for Irish golf, in which The Open returned to the island of Ireland for the first time in almost 70 years, with a fairy-tale ending as a national hero, Shane Lowry, became Champion Golfer of the Year. 

Irish golf then enjoyed another spell in the spotlight after Adare Manor was named the 2026 Ryder Cup host venue, meaning the 5-star resort will continue to play a significant role in promoting Irish golf tourism to an international audience.
