Barry McCauley has been promoted to the position of director of golf at Lough Erne Resort, where he has served for a decade in a range of roles.
His promotion to director of golf will see him continue to expand the resort’s golf offering with the aim of strengthening Lough Erne Resort’s reputation as one of the leading golf destinations in Ireland.
In his previous role as head of golf operations, McCauley played a large part in enhancing the resort’s golf facilities, incorporating the Faldo Course and Castle Hume Course.
Jeff Mahan and Mark Ward from TRU Hotels and Resorts LLC, who are the US-based operators of the resort extended their congratulations to McCauley.
"Barry and his team have been instrumental in driving higher standards year on year and we are grateful to him for his dedication, loyalty and passion,” said Mark Ward.
McCauley was also recently awarded the ‘Ulster Golf Manager of the Year’ at the Golfers Guide to Ireland Awards.
The awards recognise the finest golf courses, clubs, and industry professionals who have pushed the boundaries of excellence.
“It is a great honour to win the ‘Ulster Golf Manager of the Year’ award, but it is very much a testament to the work, in particular of our golf courses’ superintendent, Sean Reilly, the greenkeeping team and the wider golf operations staff for their supreme dedication over a busy golf season," said Barry McCauley.
"Sean and his colleagues have done an amazing job of maintaining the playing quality of our two Championship Courses and I’m incredibly grateful for his unbridled passion for excellence."
