In County Clare, the links lead and the Open follows
County Clare golf is built on Lahinch and Trump Doonbeg, two contrasting links within a half hour of one another on the Wild Atlantic Way. The big news for 2026 is that the Amgen Irish Open comes to Doonbeg from September 9 to 13, the first time the tournament has been staged in Clare, which lifts the profile of the whole coast and sharpens demand for tee times around it.
Visitor access is open at both courses, with green fees and stay and play options that bundle a round with a night nearby. Below is how the main shapes and fees break down for 2026. Treat every figure as a planning guide, since rates shift with season and availability, and always confirm directly before booking.

The deals worth watching
Trump Doonbeg, the resort round
Doonbeg is the cluster's resort links, and its 2026 visitor green fee runs from around EUR 250 per person for low season midweek play to around EUR 425 per person in high season, June 1 to September 30. The on site hotel makes the stay and play the natural choice, bundling a round with a night a few steps from the first tee. With the Irish Open here in September, book that window early.
Lahinch, the classic links
Lahinch is the county's traditional heart, an Old Tom Morris and Alister MacKenzie links of blind shots and tumbling dunes that many rank among Ireland's finest. It pairs naturally with Doonbeg on a Clare trip, and tee times are best secured in advance, especially around the Irish Open dates when the coast is busy.
The Amgen Irish Open, September 2026
The Amgen Irish Open at Doonbeg, September 9 to 13, 2026, is the season's headline event in Clare and the first time the tournament has been held in the county. Spectator and hospitality packages will sit alongside the usual stay and play, and the weeks either side of the tournament are the ones to plan early, since access and accommodation tighten across the whole coast.
Our take
County Clare is one of Ireland's most rewarding short links runs, and 2026 gives it a marquee moment with the Irish Open at Doonbeg. The play is to pair Lahinch and Doonbeg over a few nights, use the low season midweek window at Doonbeg for value, and book early if you want to be on the coast around the September tournament.
Our County Clare golf hub, the Lahinch Old Course and Trump Doonbeg profiles cover the marquee rounds, the how to play golf in County Clare guide covers access, and the County Clare golf packages page shows how a full trip comes together. Our team can secure the tee times and price the trip to the head before you commit.

Can you play Lahinch and Doonbeg on one trip?
