Hard to beat

We got one of the best days of the year to play this stunning layout. Great variety of holes, and a great test of golf. Unfortunately the day we played, there was a large society of extremely slow golfers out before us, which made the round very slow.

As good a coarse as any

This Faldo layout is a must play in Northern Ireland. Using golf now you can get a great value green free to play what is one of the best coarses I have played,ranging from sawgrass to old head of kinsale. Anyone can be challenged as the tee's vary greatly in length. With a great hotel and food I would recommend to play two rounds and stay. I cannot say enough about this coarse.

Love the course. In good condition and great views. A bit to expensive to play often but worth a round once in a while

Perhaps Northern Irelan'd's best parkland course

Lough Erne was stripped of its chance to host the 2017 Irish Open, but that's not because of the quality of the course or the resort. It's all top class.

Portstewart was the beneficiary of the European Tour's decision to move the event to a links course. Lough Erne hopefully gets a second chance down the road. It's every bit the challenge any golfer could want and its lakeside holes would look spectacular on TV someday.

Players heading to the first tee pass by a statue of Sir Nick Faldo, the architect better known as a six-time major champion and TV analyst.

His routing climbs to a high ridge at the sixth tee, providing beautiful views of the lake to the right and the resort to the left. Rory McIlroy drove the 396-yard seventh green miraculously without finding the water. Five dramatic lake holes on the back nine (nos. 9-10 and 16-18) end the experience in style.

Traveling golfers are like the European Tour - they lean toward choosing links golf - but Lough Erne is a worthy detour. It ranks right up there with Adare Manor and the K Club as the Emerald Isle's top parkland course.

BOOK NOW!

What a setting for a golf course, I have played golf all over the world and this is 1 of the most picturesque course I have ever had the pleasure of playing. The weather wasn't great but yet we still managed to appreciate the true beauty of this wonderful course. If you are a beginner playing of the red tees or a pro playing of the black tees this course will give you a great challenge.
I wish I could play this course every week and can't wait to book again.

A PLEASURE TO PLAY

Lough Erne was a joy to play. The course was in immaculate condition with fairways very well drained and the greens running true. A playable course if you pick your tees correctly and a steal at £27 on GolfNow.

Very nice course & challenging. Resort course, so play was a little slow- probably a function that course likely above level of some of the players on it

Excellent scenery, excellent course

Played at Lough Erne as a two-ball on an overcast but warm day in September, and it has quickly become one of my favourite courses, the views across the lough are second to none and the course was in great condition - some of the greens were quite sandy, but it didn't really affect them too much. The layout is superb with a good variety of holes requiring a good amount of course management, it's certainly not the type of course were you can just blast a driver off every tee. We played the white tees which ran about 6200 yards, but there are tees to suit anyone. It was very quiet when we played with no-one in front of us so there were no delays, and getting a discounted green fee from GolfNow made this the bargain of the century!

Wow - in spades

Probably the best conditioned golf course I have ever played. There isn't a blade of grass out of place. The course is easy to navigate, though difficult to play due to the length. It is imperative that you play the proper tees or you will be bludgeoned. Keep the ball in the fairway as the native grass is incredibly long and it's impossible to find a wayward ball. Staff is accommodating, friendly, and extremely helpful. A tremendous experience all around.

First play

First time playing this course read a few reviews before we went and there were quite a few mixed ones. But I must say all of our four ball experienced a great days golf even though the weather could have been kinder course was in excellent condition even though the weather recently has been so wet there weren't that many other people out playing the course when we were out so playing time wasn't an issue didn't use club house facility so can't comment on that but overall a great days golf and my partners said they would like to return when the weather was a bit kinder especially if we could get the green fees at the reasonable rate we did trough golf now .
