Lahinch Old Course

  • Lahinch, County Clare, Ireland

Last updated: 21 March, 2024

Old Tom Morris, Alistair Mackenzie and nature’s own genius combined to carve out this exceptional links in southwestern Clare, along Ireland’s picture-postcard west coast.

Beautifully trapped between the Inagh River and the Atlantic’s own roar, the old course at Lahinch is unquestionably a stern test of golf – it has its fair share of blind shots and requires power and guile in equal measure – but its standout feature is the beauty of the landscape.
