The Faldo Course at Lough Erne Resort has secured a top-ten ranking in Golf World’s Top 100 Parkland Courses in the UK and Ireland.
The rankings, which are regarded as among the most authoritative within the golfing fraternity, place the Faldo Course in sixth position overall, with 2027 Ryder Cup venue Adare Manor the only other Irish venue placed ahead the rankings, at number two overall.
“We believe the Faldo Course is truly a parkland paradise, and this prestigious award is a testament to the world-class golf experience available here at Lough Erne Resort,” said Barry McCauley, golf operations manager therein.
“We are extremely grateful for the talented team who work so hard to keep the courses in such fantastic condition all year round.”
The Fermanagh Lakelands’ countryside resort is included alongside world-famous golfing locations including Loch Lomond, Wentworth, and Celtic Manor.
Nestled within a scenic 600-acre peninsula, the award-winning course challenges players with water features on 11 of its 18 holes, just shy of 50 large sand traps placed in key areas, to make the golfer plot his/her/their way around with a game plan, plus a distinctive sand foundation, for all-weather play.
Mark Ward and Jeff Mahan from TRU Hotels and Resorts, LLC, the US-based operator of the resort, said that the recognition affirms the dedication of the Lough Erne Resort team to providing an exceptional golfing experience at a world-class destination.
“Being in the top ten is a true honour, and we’d like to thank Barry McCauley and the whole team for their relentless pursuit of excellence,” said Ward.
