Lough Erne Resort - Top Golfer Course Review

Designed by Nick Faldo, the golf course at Lough Erne is truly magnificent. Writers and players have compared it to Lough Lomond but in truth, it has an incredibly special feel all its own. It continues to accumulate the awards - Best New International Course of 2009, IGTOA Golf Resort of the Year 2010, Golf World's best par 3 in UK & Ireland (18th) amongst the many.

Located on the shores of Lower Lough Erne in County Fermanagh, 3 miles west of Enniskillen, it's set on a 600 acre peninsula between Castle Hume Lough and Lower Lough Erne.

As you would expect from Nick Faldo, the course is designed to not just take full advantage of the natural landscape and this makes for fourteen holes where the waters of the Loughs come into play, including a green surrounded on three sides by water, but it also places alot of emphasis on strategy. To score well you need to plot and hit the right strokes at the right time. Its the kind of test every single figure handicapper should crave for because ther'll be no bigger thrill than to tame Lough Erne.

The Faldo Championship Course hosted The Lough Erne Challenge, The Duel on The Lough a stroke play between Rory McIlroy and Padraig Harrington, which saw Rory McIlroy set The Faldo Course record of 68.
