Frequently referred to as
the St. Andrews of Ireland, Lahinch looks out on the ever-changing
Atlantic Ocean and is subject to all her mood swings. However, comparisons
between the two famous courses go much further as their respective
citizens share a common love and enthusiasm for the game of golf. The two
courses at Lahinch were actually first planned by officers of a Scottish
regiment, who considered this rugged and uncompromising countryside of Co.
Clare perfect terrain for golf. The original layout for the course was the
brainchild of Old Tom Morris, himself a four time British Open champion.
Subsequent alterations were put in the capable hands of Scottish architect
Dr. Alastair MacKenzie, who has also worked on Augusta, Pebble Beach and
Cypress Point.
