The Old Course's easygoing companion — flatter, friendlier, and a perfect warm-up round.
About this course
Across the road from the famous Old Course, the Castle is a more relaxed and forgiving links — ideal for an extra round, mixed-ability groups, or as a warm-up before tackling Klondyke and the Dell.
Golfers describe the Castle as "a lovely surprise" — far better than expected and great value. Many use it as their second day at Lahinch and leave just as fond of it as the Old.
