Renting Your Home in Clare for the 2027 Golf Event at Adare Manor — What You Need to Know
The 2027 golf event at Adare Manor in Co. Limerick is set to be the most significant sporting occasion ever held in Munster — and Co. Clare homeowners are exceptionally well placed to benefit from it.
Clare's combination of proximity to Adare Manor, direct access via Shannon Airport, and its status as one of Ireland's most visited tourist destinations makes it one of the strongest counties in Ireland for event home rental. Here is everything Clare homeowners need to know.
Why Clare Is Perfectly Placed
Of all the counties in Munster, Clare has a unique advantage that no other county can offer — Shannon Airport. The majority of American visitors attending the 2027 golf event will fly directly into Shannon, making Co. Clare the first place they land and one of the most natural bases for their stay.
For a group of American golf fans flying into Shannon and driving to Adare Manor each day, a home in Ennis, Killaloe, Sixmilebridge, or anywhere in East Clare is not just convenient — it is the obvious choice. They land, they collect their hire car, and they are at their accommodation within 20 minutes.
This is a significant competitive advantage for Clare homeowners that properties in other counties simply cannot replicate.
How Far Is Clare from Adare Manor?
Distance from Adare Manor varies significantly across Co. Clare. Here is a practical guide for homeowners:
Location Distance to Adare Manor Driving Time (approx.) Ennis 40km 35 minutes Shannon 45 km 40 minutes Sixmilebridge35 km30 minutes Killaloe 55km 50 minutes Newmarket-on-Fergus40 km 35minutes Kilrush 75km 60 minutes Lahinch / Miltown Malbay80 km65 minutes Kilkee 90km 75 minutes
East Clare and the Shannon corridor are the strongest locations for daily travel to the event. West Clare — the Burren, Lahinch, Kilkee — is better suited to visitors who want the Wild Atlantic Way experience and plan to attend the event on specific days rather than every day.
The Shannon Airport Advantage
Shannon Airport handles direct transatlantic flights from the United States and Canada year-round. In 2027, it will be the primary entry point for the thousands of American and Canadian golf fans making the trip to Ireland for the event.
This matters enormously for Clare homeowners because:
No long transfer times. Visitors flying into Shannon can be at a Clare property within 20-30 minutes of collecting their hire car. Compare this to flying into Dublin and facing a 2.5 hour drive to Limerick.
Familiar territory. Many American visitors to Ireland have flown into Shannon before and know the area. Clare is not an unknown quantity for the transatlantic market.
Natural base for exploring. Visitors based in Clare can attend the event at Adare Manor and also explore the Cliffs of Moher, the Burren, and the Wild Atlantic Way — making a Clare property an even more attractive proposition.
Which Clare Areas Are Best Placed?
East Clare and the Shannon Corridor — Ennis, Shannon, Sixmilebridge, Newmarket-on-Fergus
This is the prime zone for event rental in Clare. Properties here sit within 30-40 minutes of Adare Manor and within 15-20 minutes of Shannon Airport. For visitors attending the event every day, this is the most practical location in the entire county.
Ennis in particular — as Clare's largest town with excellent amenities, restaurants, and a strong Irish character — will be very attractive to international visitors who want a genuine Irish town experience alongside the event.
Killaloe and the Lough Derg Area
Killaloe and the villages along Lough Derg offer a beautiful lakeside setting within 50 minutes of Adare Manor. This area will particularly appeal to visitors who want a scenic, peaceful base away from the bustle of larger towns. Properties with lake views or waterfront access will command premium rates.
West Clare — the Burren, Lahinch, Kilkee
West Clare is Ireland at its most dramatic — the Burren, the Cliffs of Moher, and the Atlantic coastline. Properties here are best suited to visitors who want to combine the golf event with a broader Irish experience, attending Adare Manor on one or two specific days and spending the rest of their time exploring. The drive is longer but the setting is spectacular, and for the right renter it is worth every minute.
How Much Can Clare Homeowners Earn?
Rental rates for Clare properties during event week will reflect both proximity to Adare Manor and the county's strong appeal to international visitors. Shannon Airport access adds value that justifies strong pricing even for properties further from the venue.

To put these figures in context: at the most recent equivalent event in New York in 2025, homeowners near the venue were listing properties for $20,000 to $35,000 for the week. Ireland is a different market, but the demand pattern for a once-in-a-generation sporting occasion is the same — and Clare's Shannon Airport advantage is unique.
What Clare Renters Are Looking For
Visitors choosing to base themselves in Clare are typically looking for:
Authentic Irish character. International visitors — particularly Americans — want the genuine Irish home experience. Stone walls, open fires, traditional architecture, and countryside settings are actively sought out and will command higher rates than modern generic properties.
Space for a group. Event visitors frequently travel in groups. A home that comfortably sleeps six to eight people is significantly more attractive than a smaller property.
A well-equipped kitchen. Guests staying for the week will want to cook at home on some evenings, particularly after long days at the event.
Reliable broadband. Non-negotiable for modern travellers, especially those combining the trip with remote working.
Parking. Essential — visitors will be driving to Adare Manor and exploring Clare during their stay.
Local knowledge. A welcome pack pointing guests to the best local pubs, restaurants, beaches, and walks adds genuine value and makes your property memorable.
Practical Steps for Clare Homeowners
• List early — Shannon Airport arrivals will start planning and booking well in advance of the event. Properties visible now will be found first.
• Lead with your Shannon Airport proximity in your listing description — this is your single biggest selling point for transatlantic visitors.
• Photograph your home well — natural light, tidy rooms, and any character features (fireplaces, stone walls, garden space) should be shown clearly.
• Set a confident weekly rate — this is an exceptional occasion and visitors expect to pay accordingly.
• Take a security deposit from your renter — standard practice and strongly recommended for bookings of this value.
• Check with your home insurer that short-term rental is covered under your policy.
• Speak with an accountant about declaring your rental income — allowable expenses can be offset.
