Set right on the shoreline in County Clare, the Lahinch Golf and Leisure Hotel makes an easy base for a Lahinch golf break with the beach on your doorstep and the village a short stroll away. You're close to Lahinch Golf Club, so early tee times are straightforward, and you can spend the rest of the day doing what Lahinch does best: a walk along the promenade, a pint in the village and a proper feed afterwards.
Lahinch has long been a favourite with golfers and surfers, and it's the sort of place that suits groups who want a sociable atmosphere as much as a serious links test. Stay here and you can keep the car parked, head out for your round, then wander back into the village for a drink without any faff.
Back at the hotel, the leisure facilities are a genuine bonus after 18 holes in west coast wind. There's a 17-metre pool, steam room, sauna, whirlpool and gym, plus an outdoor hot tub for a soak before dinner. For après-golf, the Aberdeen Bar is a comfortable spot to settle in and replay the round, while the Dunes Restaurant is popular locally and a handy option when you want to stay on-site.
Who is this for?
Golf groups, societies, couples and families who want Lahinch on the doorstep, a walkable village base and leisure facilities for recovery after the links.
Who is it best for?
Golfers prioritising Lahinch Golf Club and a sociable après-golf scene, with the option to add Doonbeg or Ballybunion within reach.
