Characteristics
Lahinch, which is located just over 30 miles from Shannon Airport in Co. Clare, has often been described as 'the St Andrews of Ireland'. It's a traditional out and back links course which sits on the Atlantic coast and is a favourite with many of the thousands upon thousands of golfing visitors who flock to the Emerald Isle year after year. While the Old Course measures just under 6700 yards, the Castle Course is much shorter at less than 5600 yards. But the par-70 layout is no pushover and you'll have to be on your game to get round in a good score. Visitors are welcome all week on both the Lahinch courses and caddies are available on request.

OLd Course - a legend - but very own
Reviewed September 24, 2018
You should know, the Old Course is an old place that is more or less "historic". This means blind holes, driver zones that are 10 meters wide, canyons in the middle of the fairway, hills that you have to play with... Without space knowledge or a caddy it seems more like "cross golf". No gambling pleasure in the Sasion, when the Americans flood the place. If there is more peace, you could trace the beginnings of golf. In 2019, the Irish Open will be held there. It will be interesting to see how the longhites will play this course. Fairways and greens mediocre. In 10 minutes time, one flight after the other sent out. Game flow despite Marshall is not guaranteed.

An incredible place. In wind around 20-25 knots almost unplayable. Has made me totally exhausted. Many blind reductions require the 1st time a caddy!
Any time!

11 out of 10 for the Old Course
Reviewed May 9, 2016
As part of Mr. excursion we played at 06:05:16 this beautiful course, at about 14 degrees, clear skies and low offshore wind.
Practically everyone had after the end of the round was a grin on his face, no matter how the score.
Fairways, bunkers, greens (the latter we would have all taken prefer home) were in perfect condition.
The 4 and 12 are probably the most obvious holes. Both Par 5, with the former must. With the second shot over a large rock, but you get the help of a marshal, standing on the rocks, as the 5 and the 17 practical tick The 12 is located along the coast and offers a great view.
Who does not know the price should be a caddy for rent, he cares not just about bats, price development, etc., but also allows even the look of the environment.
