Lahinch Golf Club (Old Course) does not publish a separate rate for Irish affiliated (GUI / ILGF) golfers — the visitor rate above is what an international and a home-based golfer both pay. It is still worth asking about society, resident and off-peak rates when you ring the office; several clubs hold unpublished ones. Caddie fees, buggies and club hire are charged on top of every rate shown.
