Lough Erne is a luxurious 5-star destination
located just outside Enniskillen, Fermanagh.
It is a deluxe 120 bedroom resort located in a
spectacular setting, nestled on a private 600 acre
peninsula between Lower Lough Erne & Castle
Hume Lough, make it one of Northern Ireland’s
most beautiful and impressive Golf Resorts.
The resort is home to two golf courses, including the signature
course designed by six time major winner, Nick Faldo - his first
golf course design in Ireland. It is highly rated and in the Top 100
of both GolfWorld and Golf Monthly (UK & Ireland) and placed a
Top 10 Course in Golfweek’s Best Great Britain & Ireland course
rankings. It might be an idea to start your golf break at Castle
Hume Course, a more forgiving challenge to sharpen up your stills
before taking on its ‘big brother’. Combine these courses with the
resort facilities and it serves to make Lough Erne a real golfers
paradise.
The Faldo course at Lough Erne with stunning views from every
vantage point and with the waters of the Lough in play on 11
holes with links like fairways, it truly is an exceptional inland
course. A Golf Course where you will remember, every Hole, every
Shot
Golfers and those enjoying ‘The Collop Walk’ can enjoy a light
bite at appropriately named, ‘Halfway House’ which is situated
behind the 9th green which gives its diners breath taking views
over the Lower Lough Erne.
The resort offers a variety of dining experiences including The
Catalina Restaurant with menus composed by Award winning
Chef, Noel McMeel. The Blaney Bar has an exceptional, exclusive
collection of 101 Irish Whiskies on offer for those who fancy a
tipple or two after their round.
Another eatery at the resort, directly overlooking the Faldo
Course and Castle Hume Lough, is The Loughside Bar & Grill,
which offers an extensive choice of local produce.
Onsite also is the state of the art ‘Academy’ with practice and
tuition centre. Headed up by Lynn McCool Dire
