Lahinch Old Course is a classic links sometimes referred to as “the St Andrews of Ireland”. It has evolved over more than 100 years, with the original course laid out in 1895 by the legendary Old Tom Morris before a succession of modernisations by architects including Augusta creator Alistair MacKenzie.

Lahinch snakes through the sand dunes with subtly contoured greens rolling with the natural fall of the land. A bracing Atlantic breeze usually adds to the challenge and fun.

Lahinch is home to the oldest Provincial championship in Ireland, the South of Ireland Amateur Open Championship, whose past winners and finalists include Padraig Harrington, Darren Clarke, Paul McGinley and Graham McDowell.
