If you are considering listing your home for the Ryder Cup 2027 at Adare Manor, County Limerick, one of the first practical questions is straightforward: what does it cost to list your property, and what do you get for that fee? Golf Event Stays offers two clear options, a self-managed listing at a one-time fee of €149, and a Fully Managed service at €0 upfront plus 15% of the accommodation rental value. This article explains what each option includes, how the costs compare, and how to decide which is the better fit for your circumstances.
The Ryder Cup 2027 Accommodation Opportunity
Ryder Cup 2027 takes place at Adare Manor from 13 to 19 September 2027, with the three match days falling on 17, 18 and 19 September. The event is expected to bring a significant number of international and domestic visitors to County Limerick and the surrounding region, many of whom will be looking for private accommodation that can house a group comfortably — something that separate hotel rooms simply cannot replicate.

Visit Golf Event StaysUnderstanding How Golf Event Stays Listing Fees Work
Golf Event Stays is an event-specific property-listing marketplace. It is not a letting agency, property-management company or hotel booking platform. The listing fees described here are one-time payments that give your property visibility on the platform for the Ryder Cup 2027 event period. There are no monthly charges under either option.
The fee structure is designed so that ordinary homeowners, people who do not normally run a rental business can participate in the accommodation market around a major golf event without committing to ongoing costs or long-term contracts.
Option 1: The Self-Managed Listing (€149 Once-Off)
The standard listing option costs €149 as a one-time payment. This is the default option for homeowners who are comfortable managing their own enquiries and guest arrangements.
What the self-managed listing includes
- A dedicated property listing page on Golf Event Stays, visible to golf travellers searching for Ryder Cup 2027 accommodation
- Space for up to 12 property photographs
- A full property description covering bedrooms, bathrooms, guest capacity, parking, facilities and approximate travel time to Adare Manor
- An enquiry function so that interested guests can contact you directly
- Exposure to an audience of golf-event travellers — including international visitors from the USA, UK and Continental Europe — who are actively looking for private accommodation
What you manage yourself
Under the self-managed model, you remain responsible for responding to enquiries, assessing prospective guests, agreeing rental terms, collecting payment, managing a security deposit where applicable, preparing the property, and handling check-in and checkout. If you are organised and comfortable communicating directly with guests, this is a very manageable process. Most of the practical steps involved are simply good preparation: cleaning thoroughly, securing personal belongings, confirming payment terms in writing and providing clear check-in instructions.
When the self-managed option suits you
- You are comfortable replying to enquiries and making your own judgement about guests
- You have time to prepare the listing, respond promptly and coordinate the stay
- You want to retain full control of pricing, availability and guest communication
- You want to keep costs straightforward — a single known fee with no commission on your rental income
Because there is no commission under the self-managed model, the full rental amount you agree with your guests is yours to keep.
Option 2: The Fully Managed service (€0 + 15%)
The Fully Managed service has no upfront fee plus a 15% success fee on the confirmed accommodation rental value. This option is designed for homeowners who would prefer additional support through the booking process.
How the percentage fee works
The 15% applies only to the accommodation rental value agreed between you and your guests. It does not apply to any optional independent services such as cleaning, airport transfers, laundry or grocery coordination which are separately priced, supplied independently and paid directly by the homeowner or guest. Those services are always optional and never bundled into the listing fee.
When the managed option may suit you
- You would find it reassuring to have additional support handling enquiries and booking details
- You have limited time to manage guest communication yourself
- This is your first time renting your home and you would welcome guidance through the process
- You prefer a service that only charges when a booking is secured, in exchange for additional assistance rather than managing every step independently
Comparing the Two Options: A Simple Overview
| Feature | Self-Managed Listing | Fully Managed service |
|---|---|---|
| One-time upfront fee | €149 | €0 |
| Commission on rental income | None | 15% of accommodation rental value |
| Monthly charges | None | None |
| Listings | Included | Included |
| Enquiry management | Homeowner manages | Additional support provided |
| Guest communication | Homeowner manages | Additional support provided |
| Control over pricing | Full homeowner control | Homeowner retains pricing input |
| Suitable for first-time listers | Best for experienced hosts confident managing enquiries, negotiation, contracts and guest arrangements. | Best for first-time listers who want negotiation, contracts, bookings and guest arrangements handled for them. |
Which Option Costs Less Overall?
Whether the self-managed listing or the Fully Managed service costs less overall depends on what your property actually rents for. The self-managed listing has a lower upfront fee and no commission, so the full rental income goes to you. The Fully Managed service has no upfront fee and charges a 15% success fee on the confirmed accommodation rental value only when a booking is secured.
As a rough illustration: if your property rents for €24,000 during Ryder Cup week, the self-managed option costs €149 in listing fees. The Fully Managed service would cost nothing upfront, plus a 15% success fee on €24,000 — a total of €3,600. At a rental value of €24,000, the self-managed option cost you around €149 in platform costs, assuming you are comfortable managing the process yourself.
What Both Options Have in Common
Regardless of which option you choose, several things remain consistent:
- Golf Event Stays does not control your pricing, you set your own rental amount
- You decide whether a particular booking is suitable for your home
- Accommodation booked through Golf Event Stays does not include event tickets; guests arrange their own tickets through official Ryder Cup channels
- Property maps on the platform may display approximate locations to protect your privacy; the confirmed address is only shared after booking
- Golf Event Stays is an independent property-listing marketplace and is not affiliated with Ryder Cup Europe, the PGA of America, Adare Manor or the event organisers
Other Practical Costs to Be Aware Of
The listing fee is your cost for platform exposure. There are other practical costs to factor in separately when planning your rental:
- Cleaning: Whether you clean the property yourself or use a local cleaner, there will be a cost associated with preparing the home before guests arrive and restoring it after checkout.
- Linen and towels: If you are supplying bed linen and towels, laundering them after the stay is a direct cost.
- Optional coordination services: If you or your guests would like help arranging airport transfers, grocery stocking, additional cleaning support or similar services, Golf Event Stays may be able to help coordinate these through independent local providers. These are optional, separately priced, paid directly to the provider, and never included in or bundled with the listing fee.
- Insurance: Contact your insurer before the stay to confirm whether your existing home insurance policy covers a short-term paying-guest arrangement, or whether a temporary adjustment is needed.
- Tax: Rental income may need to be declared. Keep a clear record of what you receive and retain receipts for direct costs. If you are unsure of your obligations, a brief conversation with an accountant will give you clarity.
Listing Early: Why It Matters
With Ryder Cup 2027 running in September, international visitors particularly those travelling from the USA and UK often plan accommodation well in advance. A property listed early has more time to be discovered, more time to receive enquiries from suitable groups, and a greater opportunity for you to compare options and choose the guests that are right for your home.
Planning a Golf Event Stay?
Listing early does not guarantee a booking, but it significantly increases the time your property has to be found by the right visitors. If you are still weighing up whether to list, exploring the is a good starting point.
Visit Golf Event StaysFrequently Asked Questions
What is the listing fee to advertise my property for Ryder Cup 2027 on Golf Event Stays?
The self-managed listing is €149 as a one-time fee. The Fully Managed service has no upfront fee, plus a 15% success fee on the confirmed accommodation rental value.
Golf Event Stays offers two options for homeowners listing a property for Ryder Cup 2027 at Adare Manor. The standard self-managed listing costs €149 as a single, once-off payment with no monthly charges and no commission on your rental income. If you prefer additional support managing enquiries and bookings, the Fully Managed service is available at no upfront fee plus a 15% success fee on the confirmed accommodation rental value. The 15% applies only to the accommodation amount it does not apply to any optional independent services such as cleaning, airport transfers or grocery coordination, which are always separately priced and optional.
Is there a commission on my rental income under the self-managed listing?
No. Under the standard self-managed listing, there is no commission on your rental income only the one-time €149 listing fee.
The self-managed listing at €149 is a one-time platform access fee. Golf Event Stays does not charge commission on the rental income you agree with your guests under this model. Whatever price you set and collect from your guests is yours to keep. The Fully Managed service does charge 15% of the accommodation rental value although there is no upfront fee, so the commission-free structure is a meaningful advantage of the self-managed option if you are comfortable managing guest communication yourself.
Can I set my own rental price regardless of which listing option I choose?
Yes. You set your own rental price under both options. Golf Event Stays does not control your pricing.
Golf Event Stays is a property-listing marketplace, not a letting agency. You decide what to charge for your property, and you retain control over pricing, availability and guest selection under both the self-managed and managed listing options. The platform provides exposure to relevant golf travellers and an enquiry function — you remain in charge of the commercial terms you agree with your guests. The Golf Event Stays rental income calculator can help you form a view on what your property might realistically achieve during Ryder Cup week.
Are there any other costs beyond the listing fee?
The listing fee covers your platform exposure. Cleaning, insurance, linen and any optional local services are separate costs you manage independently.
The platform cost — whether the one-time Self-Managed listing fee or the Fully Managed success fee — covers your property's presence on the Golf Event Stays platform for Ryder Cup 2027. Any costs associated with preparing and managing the property are separate. These may include cleaning (before and after the stay), laundering linen and towels, and any optional coordination services such as airport transfers or grocery stocking, which are independently supplied, separately priced and paid directly to the provider. You should also contact your home insurer before the stay to confirm your cover for short-term paying guests, and keep a record of rental income received in case it needs to be declared a local accountant can advise if you are unsure.
Which listing option is better for a first-time homeowner rental?
Both are suitable for first-time homeowners. The Fully Managed service offers more support; the self-managed listing gives you full control at a lower total cost.
First-time homeowners can use either option successfully. The self-managed listing is straightforward for most homeowners who are prepared to reply to enquiries, confirm a written agreement with their guest and manage check-in and checkout directly. The process involves mostly ordinary preparation — cleaning, organising the property, confirming payment terms and providing clear instructions. If you would prefer more guidance and support through the booking process, the Fully Managed service, with no upfront fee and a 15% success fee, provides that. Weigh the additional cost against the reassurance it provides, particularly if you have a higher-value property or limited time available around the event.
Does the listing fee include Ryder Cup event tickets?
No. Accommodation listed through Golf Event Stays does not include event tickets. Guests must arrange tickets separately through official Ryder Cup channels.
The Golf Event Stays listing fee covers property exposure on the platform only. It does not include, and must not be presented as including, Ryder Cup 2027 event tickets or any official hospitality package. Golf Event Stays is an independent property-listing marketplace and is not affiliated with Ryder Cup Europe, the PGA of America or the event organisers. Guests are responsible for sourcing their own tickets through authorised Ryder Cup ticket channels. Accommodation availability and ticket availability are entirely separate.
Golf Event Stays pricing is reviewed from time to time. For the current Self-Managed listing fee for each event and the current Fully Managed terms, see the Golf Event Stays pricing page or list your property.
