Ireland golf in pictures: The Old Course at Lahinch Golf Club

The Old Course at Lahinch Golf Club is a century-old links masterpiece on the Emerald Isle's western shores. The club was established in 1892 and Old Tom Morris redesigned the golf course in 1894. Famed Scots architect Alistir Mackenzie came along in 1927 and made it into the marvel now known as the "St. Andrews of Ireland."

The club remained largely unchanged until 1999, when it embarked on a multi-year restoration project. The most famous hole here is one of its shortest: No. 5, aka the "Dell," which plays to a shallow, wide green nestled between two dunes. The tee shot is completely blind and only an aiming stone offers any advice as to the location of the pin.

Lahinch is also home to the Castle Course, which was built in the 1960s and plays around Castle Dough across the street from the Old Course.
