At Lahinch, you get the quintessential classic links experience.
Rugged terrain. Soaring sandhills. Bracing winds.
Three masters - Old Tom Morris, Alister MacKenzie and Martin Hawtree - have refined its natural out-the-back layout since 1892.
Blind shots abound, especially on the aptly named 7th hole - 'Blind Hookey.'
Your tee shot must clear a soaring sandhill to find the hidden fairway. Aim for the marker post - it’s your only visible guide to a safe landing.
You might well manage it. But the view on your approach is still far from clear. You need skill, intuition and courage amid this lunar linksland.
The green, nestled among the dunes, is no picnic either. Deceptive contours and subtle breaks will test the precision of the very best.
And that’s the one-of-a-kind Blind Hookey.
A round at Lahinch always caps off our Southwest Ireland Tour.
