Traffic Management
There will be major diversions around the Lahinch area, and visitors to Lahinch (golf-related or not!) have been advised to avoid driving straight into the town, and instead, to turn off their Sat-Nav and follow the road signage to the park & ride site.

And of course, if you want to get away from land-based traffic blues, you can always escape on a boat trip 😉
