A NEW MINI-series to show off Ireland’s most scenic golf courses is
coming to Limerick and will be broadcast in the United States.
Tourism Ireland is teaming up with the NBC Golf Channel to promote
Irish golf courses to American viewers as part of a new six-episode
series. Adare Manor Golf Club is set to feature.
Golf Channel host Alexandra O'Laughlin and a film crew have already
visited and gathered some content for the show, which will air around
coverage of the PGA Championship, US Open, The Open and the Ryder Cup.
Limerick has welcomed global golf events such as the JP McManus Pro-Am
in 2022, and Adare will again host the Ryder Cup in 2027. Tourism
Ireland’s job is to promote our golfing amenities and more to encourage
visitors.

Limerick club to host annual golf classic for charity
Alison Metcalfe, Tourism Ireland’s Head of North America, said: “The
NBC mini-series will remind viewers that Limerick, and Ireland, offer
American golfers the complete package, with some of the very best golf
in the world, stunning scenery and the warmest of welcomes.
“Golf is the world’s largest sports-related travel market and Tourism
Ireland is working hard to drive home the message that a golfing
holiday in Ireland is about much more than a round of 18 holes – the
combination of our world class golf and our unique brand of hospitality
plays a key role in attracting US golfers.”
In 2019, Ireland welcomed 11.3 million overseas visitors to it’s shores
and delivered revenue of over €5.9 billion.
