Prior to being known as Lough Erne, golf here consisted of the only the Castle Hume course. But following a huge regeneration with a championship course designed by Nick Faldo, Lough Erne was established and is now one of the best resorts in Northern Ireland.

It is a picturesque parkland site which offers challenging golf, especially when playing from the back tees which measure over 7000 yards on the Faldo course.

"This was the first course I played in Northern Ireland and what an introduction it was. There's the opportunity to send it down the long drive holes and show off your accuracy on the short par 3's, all of which are extremely memorable."
