Renting out your house for Ryder Cup 2027 is not the same as becoming a year-round landlord. For many homeowners it is a single, time-limited event rental: prepare the property properly, agree clear terms with one suitable group and make the home available for the dates you are comfortable offering.
For event dates, accommodation options, suitable areas and travel guidance, visit our Ryder Cup 2027 accommodation guide.
The Ryder Cup takes place at Adare Manor, County Limerick, from 13 to 19 September 2027. The process below is designed for homeowners considering a private event-week rental.
1. Decide whether the property is genuinely suitable
Start with how the home works for adults staying together for several nights. Count the real bedrooms, beds and bathrooms. Check parking, Wi-Fi, kitchen facilities and shared living space. A property does not need to be luxurious, but it should be clean, comfortable and accurately represented.
Distance from Adare Manor matters, but it is not an automatic pass-or-fail test. Homes across Limerick and surrounding counties can be relevant when they offer enough space, quality and practical road access.
2. Choose the dates you are willing to offer
Do not list a full week and later discover that you need the house back midway through the stay. Decide your earliest check-in and latest check-out before publishing. International groups may value an additional night either side of the event week.
3. Check insurance and your own tax position
Before accepting paying guests, contact your insurer or broker and explain what you plan to do. Policies vary. Do not assume ordinary home cover automatically extends to a short-term paid rental.
Rental income may also be taxable. The correct treatment depends on your circumstances, so use Revenue guidance or a qualified adviser rather than relying on figures quoted by other homeowners online.
4. Set a realistic event-week price
Price should reflect the whole property: location, bedrooms, bathrooms, quality, guest capacity, parking, dates and presentation. Avoid building an expectation around the most extreme Ryder Cup rental story you have heard.
The Golf Event Stays listing flow includes an indicative event-rental estimate. For a deeper explanation, see our Ryder Cup 2027 pricing guide.
5. Prepare photographs that answer practical questions
Photograph the exterior, every bedroom, bathrooms, kitchen, dining area, main sitting room, parking and outdoor space. Guests should be able to understand the layout and standard of the home before they enquire.
Use natural daylight where possible, clear unnecessary clutter and avoid wide-angle images that make rooms look materially larger than they are.
6. Write the listing for the guest, not for yourself
Useful descriptions are specific. State bed sizes, bathroom arrangement, parking capacity, Wi-Fi, heating, outdoor space, approximate normal-traffic travel time to Adare Manor and the nearest useful town or airport. Mention standout features, but do not bury the practical information beneath marketing language.
7. Choose how you want the booking managed
Golf Event Stays currently offers a Self-Managed route and a Fully Managed route for Ryder Cup Ireland 2027. Self-Managed is designed for homeowners comfortable handling enquiries, agreements and guest communication themselves. Fully Managed provides more support with qualification, negotiation and the accommodation contract.
See the current homeowner service options for pricing and full terms.
8. Check the guest before confirming
You should know who is booking, how many people will stay, why they are travelling, their planned dates and any important requirements. For a large or corporate group, understand whether they need individual bedrooms, transport, private dining or other arrangements that affect the suitability of the home.
A vague message asking only “is it available?” is not enough information to accept a substantial event-week rental.
9. Put the agreement in writing
The written agreement should cover the property address, lead guest, dates, agreed guest count, total rent, payment schedule, security deposit where applicable, cancellation terms, check-in and checkout, house rules and responsibility for damage.
Clear terms protect both sides and reduce the chance of a disagreement close to the event.
10. Prepare the house for arrival
- Deep-clean bedrooms, bathrooms, kitchen and shared areas.
- Provide clean linen and towels.
- Test hot water, heating, Wi-Fi and essential appliances.
- Secure private documents, valuables and personal items you do not want guests to access.
- Leave simple instructions for keys, Wi-Fi, bins, heating and emergencies.
- Record the condition of the property before handover.
11. Keep check-in simple
Send arrival information before the guest travels. Confirm the exact address, agreed check-in time, parking, key arrangements and a contact number. If match-day transport is important, remind guests to follow official Ryder Cup transport guidance rather than relying on ordinary traffic estimates.
12. Inspect promptly after checkout
Check the property before cleaning obscures any damage. Confirm keys have been returned, photograph any issue and deal with the security deposit in line with the written agreement.
Start the process
If the property is suitable and you are comfortable with the dates, you can review the Golf Event Stays listing options and begin entering the property information. You remain in control of whether to accept a guest and the final rental price.
