Lovely place but at those prices they can stick it where the monkey stuck the bad nuts.

They could have paid a few quid for someone to proof read the flyer.

I dont think making money from green fees is top of their priority. Considering they have to pay 50 greenstaff on top of everything its all about creating an Irish Augusta and the exclusiveness that goes with it

I think turning a profit will be tricky given our climate
I guess JP can afford to run it at a loss if it struggles

It’s all about the Ryder Cup, end of

I'm sure they will be commercially driven, just with a different model. You won't find discounted slots on teetimes but I'm sure they will be targeting the likes of the US audience, fairly aggressively. Trying to get on tour operators packages etc... a premium parkland offering in the mix with the likes of Ballybunion, Tralee etc for our oversees friends.

If they were going for the Augusta model, they wouldn't be advertising green fees at all. There are a lot more millionaires around Augusta than you'll find around Adare. I doubt they will be happy to rely on membership alone.

Even if they averaged 3 groups of 4 a day at those green fees plus add ons, it's well in excess of €1,000,000 per year in revenue.
That's 20-25 full time staff paid for, so I do think they will be looking to welcome green fees, just at the premium rate and in relatively small numbers (so as not to annoy members, who are also paying premium rates).

I couldn't see members allowing it to be as busy with tourists as the likes of those Links, the members of Tralee etc expect it to be packed with tourists as they understand that they're only paying 400 odd a years membership thanks to the tourists.

They are allowing max of 8 green fees per day so even if they fill every day 365 they may pay for half the greenstaff without the massive costs of keeping the greens and course in perfect condition all year round. Would be interested to see what their membership numbers are, I had no idea how many members they had before the changes

It really is a loss making exercise to get the Ryder Cup as mentioned by another poster. So we can look forward to affordable green fees in 2027

Maybe a WGC event in the future?

That would be cool

As far as i know the current situation is a high possibility of a WGC or 2, and Ryder cup is 100% happenings, but it may be 2022 as Italy are struggling to be ready, by all accounts JP is pushing hard for 2022 and possible Harrington captaincy as Westwood is primed for 2020.

kennethrhcp

just wondering... does anyone know the upfront joining fee?

I think I read the annual sub is 6.5k (1.5 re bar/restaurant)

Ya I'd be good with this. Was too young in 2002 to really enjoy the WGC in KK
