Corporate Golf Experience at Adare Manor, Ireland

Overview

Viva Esprit delivered an exclusive three-day corporate golf experience at the prestigious Adare Manor in Ireland, bringing together 35 business account managers and their clients. Designed to strengthen client relationships and encourage meaningful connections, the event combined championship golf, luxury hospitality and memorable social experiences in an exceptional setting.

Across three days, Viva Esprit managed venue coordination, delegate communications, event logistics, supplier management and creative support, overseeing the guest journey from arrival through to departure. With guests travelling predominantly from the UK and Ireland, the programme was designed to provide a personalised experience while giving attendees the opportunity to connect away from their usual business environment.

The Experience

Hosted at Adare Manor, the programme brought together a series of experiences centred around golf, hospitality and relationship building. Viva Esprit worked closely with the venue to coordinate luxury accommodation, private dining spaces and event facilities, ensuring everything was in place for the three-day programme.

The experience began with guest arrivals and a welcome dinner at The Carriage House, followed by a business panel discussion. The main event took place on the championship golf course, where guests competed in a four-ball scramble, supported by live scoring and on-course competitions. The day concluded with a prize-giving ceremony celebrating the winning teams and individual achievements.

On the second evening, guests enjoyed a traditional Irish dining experience at a local venue in Adare Village, complete with live Irish music, creating a relaxed setting to continue conversations and enjoy the local atmosphere.

Viva Esprit also managed the full delegate journey, including a bespoke branded registration website, personalised invitations, guest communications and tailored itineraries. Our in-house creative team supported the programme through branded invitations, briefing documents and photography planning, helping create a consistent experience throughout.

Sustainability & Delivery

Sustainability was considered throughout the event planning process, with Viva Esprit's Event Sustainability Checklist used to identify opportunities to reduce environmental impact. This included prioritising local suppliers across transport, entertainment and hospitality, using digital communications to reduce printed materials and selecting practical gifts designed for long-term use. Sustainability benchmarking questionnaires were also shared with suppliers to better understand their existing environmental initiatives and encourage responsible practices across the supply chain.

Delivering the experience required close coordination across the venue, transport providers, photographers, videographers, entertainment and gifting partners. Viva Esprit managed airport transfers to and from Shannon Airport, alongside accommodation arrangements and individual guest requirements. Late registrations and last-minute changes to accommodation, transfers and golfing arrangements also required flexibility and proactive communication. Through close collaboration with suppliers and attention to detail, we adapted to changing requirements while keeping the programme on track and ensuring guests enjoyed a memorable experience.
