Lough Erne Resort: Faldo

Lough Erne Golf Course and Resort is located in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, two hours from Belfast and almost three from Dublin. Host to a challenge match between Rory McIlroy and Padraig Harrington, the championship course at Lough Erne was designed by Nick Faldo in 2009 and sits on a stunning 600-acre peninsula straddled by Lough Erne and Castle Hume Lough. The course features water in-play on 11 holes as well as stark elevation changes that route players in and around the resort estate. The signature hole on the front nine is the par-4 second, a dogleg whose fairway runs alongside a water hazard before turning inland. The back nine is known for the challenging par-5 16th that plays down and through rolling hills and reveals panoramic views of the estate and lough. A mix of parkland and links-style golf, the Faldo course at Lough Erne offers the opportunity for players to relax and enjoy a gorgeous landscape while also giving them challenging championship level playing conditions.
