Lough Erne is a relatively new golf course and resort in Northern Ireland. It's about 2 hours from Belfast on a peninsula that juts out between Lough Erne and Castle Hume Lough in the southwest end of Ulster. It's a full resort and conference center of sorts, but you don't have to be a guest to play the course. The golf course is a Nick Faldo design that started out a bit mundane with a five-hole loop that winds through the woods. Once you climb to the top of the sixth tee, the course zig-zags along the edge of Lough Erne, with the last three holes routed hard by the water. Overall 14 holes with water in play, Superb conditioning, facilities and staff were first class, beautiful setting, and very enjoyable golf experience throughout.

18 magnificently carved out golf holes on the most scenic landscape designed by Sir Nick Faldo, second only to Narin & Portnoo in Northwest Ireland for it's rugged landscape and beautiful views.

Very nice welcome from the pro shop and coffee in the clubhouse and we were off. This is a superb golf course, and full of interesting holes, several holes do play up and back, but one is never really aware of this as trees provide an excellent barrier between fairways. The greens were very nice, and unlike many of the coursers at home the fairways had good covering of grass, and were in excellent condition. The members we met on the course and afterwards in the bar were friendly, all four of us enjoyed it, agreeing it was an ideal course to start the week, nice easy walking after a couple of hours in the car.
