Lahinch was an amazing course to play as an American. The course is a perfect representation of everything that is an Irish golf course. There are small beautiful houses on one side and the beautiful Atlantic ocean on the other. The rough and fescue was not too thick which is good for a tourist. The greens were slow, which is a different feel than courses back in the states, but you get used to it.

The best thing about Lahinch was the caddies. In my group we had Michael and Ollie. They have been at the course for some 20 years and they knew every blade of grass on the course. It was impressive to see how well they were about to give me information. They were friendly as well which is not what I was expecting when I arrived.

For any American, I would reccommend this course very highly. It is a great way to learn about Irish golf, one of the homes of the game.
