11.34pm 23rd January 2025 - <a href="https://golfbusinessnews.com/news/greenkeeping/">Greenkeeping & Agronomy</a> <br>Curracloe Links has entered into a strategic partnership with 54 that will see the firm lead operations and agronomy services at Ireland’s newest links venue.<br>Part of the new Ravenport Resort, which is located 90 minutes south of Dublin, Curracloe Links will be seeded in the spring, with an expected opening in the summer of 2026. Crafted by the noted firm of Fry/Straka Global Golf Design, the short game area and putting course are almost fully completed. <br />With 49 rooms, a spa, dining options, and golf lodges to follow in 2026, Ravenport offers a luxurious base for exploring southeast Ireland. <br>To take their golf operations to the next level, Neville Hotels, the owner of Curracloe and Druids Glen, has partnered with 54, a global sports and entertainment agency with deep links to the golf industry that will now manage both operations. <br>“Curracloe Links will be a standout design in a breathtaking location, and it’s strategically important that such a key launch will be executed with partners of the experience of 54,” said Seamus Neville, Director of Neville Hotels. “Druids Glen stands proud as one of the most iconic and stunning courses in Europe, and working with 54 will ensure things run smoothly and align with our ambitious plans.”<br>The opportunity for both Curracloe and Druids Glen is what drew 54 into the project, says Francisco de Lancastre David, 54 Executive Director, Operations. “This is a terrific new engagement for 54, showing off the full spectrum of the expertise and experience we can bring to two courses at very different stages of their journey,” he said. <br />“Druids Glen is a venue with a fantastic reputation, and we’re looking to ensure our support keeps the course right at the top of people’s wish lists. Throughout our history, we have provided strategic launch advice for a number of amazing courses across Europe and with Curracloe Links, we have a destination really worthy of the challenge. It’s going to be an incredible asset for Irish golf.”<br>For more details, visit<strong><a href="https://matchplaygolfmarketing.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e15764cf7ebd79e49ff59b27b&id=aca14e34d2&e=3f7bc2e271" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> ravenportresort.ie</a></strong> and <br /><strong><a href="https://matchplaygolfmarketing.us20.list-manage.com/track/click?u=e15764cf7ebd79e49ff59b27b&id=cb7236880d&e=3f7bc2e271" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">curracloelinks.com</a></strong><br><br>The R&A has announced that The 155th Open will be played at St Andrews from 11-18 July 2027.<br>The Dom Pedro Vilamoura Hotel, which is currently part of the Dom Pedro Collection and managed by DETAILS, is to undergo a major update and be rebranded under the Hyatt Regency brand.<br>Multi-talented golf broadcaster Tony Leodora became the second recipient of the ING Jan Stephenson Entrepreneur Award Wednesday at the PGA Show in Orlando.<br><a href="https://twitter.com/home?status=https://golfbusinessnews.com/news/greenkeeping/curracloe-links-partners-with-54/" rel="noopener" data-via="eGolfBusiness" data-hashtags="GolfBusinessNews">Share on Twitter</a> <br><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://golfbusinessnews.com/news/greenkeeping/curracloe-links-partners-with-54/&title=Curracloe+Links+partners+with+54&source=GolfBusinessNews.com" rel="noopener">Share on LinkedIn</a><br>GolfBusinessNews.com (GBN) is for the many thousands of people who work in the golf business all around the world.<br>We cover the full range of topics both on and off the course.
