Lahinch Golf Club is frequently referred to as “the St. Andrew’s of Ireland” because of its close proximity and interaction with the local village. The links is situated on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean. The combination of bracing air and wind from the sea is one of the enduring attractions for golfers who ply their skills on two magnificent championship courses – the Old Course measuring 6950 yards and the Castle Course, measuring 5556 yards.

There is a great welcome in Lahinch for golfers, young and old. Many golfers come from all parts of the world to play “Lahinch” and they regularly return. There is a friendly atmosphere at the Club and a deep appreciation of the game of golf.

Since 1895 Lahinch has hosted the South of Ireland Championship, the oldest provincial golf championship in Ireland and a major highlight of the golfing year. Lahinch has also hosted all the major Irish championships, amateur and professional, down through the years.

Both courses present a unique challenge for all categories of golfers. One’s golfing education is not complete until the challenge of playing Lahinch is taken on and thoroughly enjoyed
