A Golf-Filled September in Lahinch
Two world-class events. One unforgettable Clare coastline. Book your stay early.
This September, County Clare hosts back-to-back golf history — and your seaside base is just minutes away from both.
The Events
🏌️ The 51st Walker Cup — 5th & 6th September 2026
Lahinch Golf Club welcomes the world's best amateur golfers as Great Britain & Ireland take on the USA, for the first time ever on Clare soil.
⛳ Amgen Irish Open — 10th–13th September 2026
Trump International Golf Links, Doonbeg hosts the DP World Tour's Irish Open for the first time, with Rory McIlroy, Shane Lowry, Jon Rahm and more teeing off along the Atlantic coast.
With just four days between the two events, September 2026 is shaping up to be the biggest golf week Clare has ever seen — and accommodation across the county will book out fast.
Our September Golf Package
Stay with Bucket & Spade and make a full week of it.
Flexible seaside self-catering — spread out with the group, cook your own meals, come and go on your own schedule
Central to both courses — easy reach of Lahinch Golf Club and a short drive to Doonbeg
Group-friendly homes — book a property that sleeps your whole foursome (or family) under one roof
Local knowledge — need a dinner recommendation, a taxi number, or the best pint in the village? We're on hand throughout your stay
Extended stay savings — ask us about a discounted rate for bookings covering both event weeks (5th–13th September)
