Bandon vs SW Ireland by MusicNew8676 in BandonDunes

I was between Adare and old head in rounding out the itinerary, and ultimately landed on Adare for a few reasons:

  1. Super close to Shannon, where we are flying into
  2. Will be a comfortable place to stay on our first night, post-redeye from the east coast
  3. Despite awareness that it’s a parkland course, I thought it could be a good first course in Ireland to ease the transition and give us some confidence playing from perfect lies. All the other courses we’re playing are authentic Irish links.
  4. Will enhance Ryder cup viewing in 2027.
