Play the Lahinch Old Course – one of the world’s top golf links courses

Lahinch, North Clare

Golf

Established in 1892, the Lahinch Old Course has been described as ‘The St Andrews of Ireland’. The course looks out on the ever-changing Atlantic Ocean and is subject to all her mood swings.

It has an abundance of exceptional golf holes, where awesome links land has been utilised to create a succession of golf holes of the highest quality. It is regarded as one of the best and
most enjoyable challenges anywhere in the golfing world. The legendary Old Tom Morris set the highest standards for the course. He was followed by celebrated architects Charles ‘Mo’ Gibson, Dr Alister MacKenzie and, more recently, Dr Martin Hawtree.

All the Lahinch architects were initially struck by the awesome links land put at their disposal, and to their credit, they took full advantage to create a succession of golf holes of the highest quality. while ensuring that the ‘Klondyke’ and ‘Dell’ remain untouched as a testament to the mindset of Old Tom.
