Both Golf Digest & GOLF put Lahinch in their Top 40 in the world. GD at 27 & GOLF at 37. Alister MacKenzie designed both Lahinch & Augusta National (which I can no longer find in GD's 75 Greatest). [

Not that either of them are the infallible. They both put Portmarnock in their Top 100 and if they were giving out $100 bills on the 1st Tee, I wouldn't play it again.
I seldom agree with Mr. Shibumi, but I think his characterization of St. Andrews is accurate.
It sort of like Bob Hope/George Burns syndrome. If you're around long enough, folks will think you're good at whatever you do. Burns wasn't much of anything, until he was in his 90's.
