Founded in 1892, Lahinch Golf Club has two courses - the Old Course, ranked consistently among Ireland's finest, and the Castle Course. The Old Course is a traditional out-and-back links with several blind holes and dramatic dune topography. It hosted the Irish Open in 2019 and draws a strong international contingent year-round. The Cliffs of Moher are visible on clear days from higher points on the course - a setting few links in the world can match.
