Lahinch Golf Club
A world renowned links course designed by Tom Morris and Alistair MacKensie in 1894, Lahinch Golf course is situated by the coast overlooking the Atlantic Ocean in Lahinch, Co. Clare.
Throughout the years many of the greatest players in the world have tested their skills at Lahinch. It may have a multitude of challenging holes and awkward bunkers, but the scenery that surrounds it is breathtaking. Among the natural terrain there is a ruined castle and beware of the goats as they roam free along the course!
Trump International Doonbeg
The course is set in stunning natural surroundings, from the wilderness of the Atlantic Ocean that dominates the golfer’s line of vision to the near-100 foot sand dunes that frame the links course.
The Wild Atlantic Ocean laps the 1.5-mile beach that stretches alongside the challenging and thought-provoking links course. Originally designed be Greg Norman and redesigned in 2014 by renowned Course Architect Dr. Martin Hawtree, it is not only recognised as one of Ireland’s top courses but also among the elite of European Courses.
Adare Manor Golf Club
Set within the picturesque village of Adare, with its ancient thatch cottages and historical sites, sits this exquisite parkland golf course designed by the legendary Robert Trent Jones, Senior. It covers 230 acres of lush Irish countryside, dotted with lakes and rivers along the way.
Glasson Golf club
Glasson has a mature 18 hole golf course designed by golfing legend Christy O’Conor Jr. It is an enjoyable course for the average or occasional golfer, but also suitable for the most experienced player.
Spectacular views of Killinure Bay and the inner lakes of Lough Ree can be enjoyed from every hole on the course. Top quality fairways and greens allow for excellent playing conditions pretty much all year-round.
