Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- 747/400Dublin, Ireland1,341 contributionsTwo Wonderful walks in Ballyhoura completed , the Daragh loop and the Canon Sheehan loop were both very beautiful.
Peaceful remote and with magnificent views made them both very enjoyable.. they are not challenging from a hiking perspective so they make a great introduction for someone who does not have much hiking experience.
Can’t wait to do the others.Written 26 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Christoph KAbu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates11 contributionsLimerick Golf Club is an absolutely beautiful parkland course, with a layout that's exciting for all ages, forgiving yet not boring, set within a lush green park with at least 20 different species of mature trees. The maintenance level is spot on, and the greens are providing the perfect roll. It's a club with a very long tradition, it is amongst the courses with the most members and even Tiger Woods is a member here. The golf pro has only changed 4 times since its establishment in 1892! The staff are super friendly and helpful, and the halfway house is so welcoming that you have to force yourself to finish the round. Should be a part of every golfer's vacation itinerary.Written 30 June 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Trish MPhiladelphia, PA125 contributionsI did this trail in three sections. Limerick to Killaloe was great. A bit hard to find the trail in places and well worth it. Then did Killaloe to Garrykennedy. Despite being unprepared for the large mountain in the middle (totally my fault). It was a great hike. I then attempted to do the final segment from Garrykennedy to the end. I was using all trails. I elected to use the road rather than the field route for the first segment. Then along the river there was no road option.
Most of the path was behind fencing which kept me separated from the cows and then I came to a section that ran along a field with no separation ( I checked on AllTrails and I was on the official path). At first it seemed like no big deal as the cows were lying down all the way across the field. As I was about halfway to the gate they all ran over to me. There were calves. They were all black cows. I thought at first they wanted to be fed or something similar. I could not get to the gate. I stepped behind a shin height wire fence that ran along a canal like water way thinking if I stayed quiet they would get bored and drift away. Nope. The all bunched up against the fence and some started bellowing and jumping around. I saw no other option but the ditch. I jumped in thinking I could wade across. Nope. It was waist to chest level deep. I had to haul myself out on the other bank by using a small tree for leverage. Then I had to push through nettles and brambles to get up another embankment to the path. Had to cross another field (this one with sheep thank god ) to get to a road. Luckily my phone and battery were in a plastic bag and still worked. Called my cousin and got them to pick me up. I think it is very dangerous to route the public through private cattle fields and this segment should be rerouted or eliminatedWritten 19 May 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Everything was neat and tidy around the trees, tee boxes and greens. Good value for anyone living in limerick city and the outskirt areas. Clubhouse is kept well. Staff are pleasant and professional.Written 30 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- GlobeTrotting1363631 contributionBrought the children here for a family outing and cannot recommend it more. Hubby plays golf, I do not and we have 2 boys, aged 11 and 9 who have gone to a d iving range before and a 7 year old girl who has never hit a golf ball. All 5 of us enjoyed our 2 hours at the acres from start to finish. The top tracer is easy to use and has lots of options to keep everyone interested and having fun! Eoin is so friendly and helpful, couldn't have asked for anything more - exceeded our expectations and will definitely be back! Highly recommend!Written 31 December 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.

- EamonnS2 contributionsJust go! It’s well worth leaving the luxury of Adare Manor for just a few hours to visit this equestrian centre. Since then, we’ve kept booking hacks on other holidays/breaks away to try and recapture that day. But it never really compares to that original experience, which looked effortless but was skilfully guided by Mary (nerves of steel). Thanks again for such a great day out (August 2020). I knew I’d eventually get round to my review, only took four years.Written 12 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Colm_Irl24 contributionsHired a bike for my wife to do some of the Limerick Greenway. Jim organised to deliver(& collect) the bike from the b&b we stayed at(which was in Newcastle-West). Jim made sure we were aware that if we had any difficulty to ring him and he would send out a fella to come and fix/replace the bike, anywhere along the greenway.
In fact he attempted to deliver the bike to the b&b before we got there and came back a second time after we had arrived to deliver us the bike(at no extra cost).
As it turned out the bike was ideal. Everything just worked on it - start to finish, no problems. It was a pretty light bike too. Based on my and my wifes experience, I would highly recommend using pedal pursuits.Written 1 October 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We were disappointed at how simple the course was, we’re not claiming to be Rory McIllroy but we had the 18 holes done in 10/15 mins. Staff were not very engaging to deal with. Very disappointing afternoon.Written 29 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
