Lough Erne Resort has two courses: the Faldo Course, a Nick Faldo design that hosted the G8 Summit in 2013 and ranks among the finest resort layouts in Ireland, and the Castle Hume — the more accessible companion course built through the same spectacular Fermanagh Lakelands estate. Castle Hume is gentler in character, making it a natural fit for mid-to-high handicappers or golfers who want a second day's play without repeating the same demands. The setting is exceptional regardless of which course you play — Lower Lough Erne is one of the most beautiful lake systems in Ireland — and the resort hotel and facilities are among the best in the country.
Highlights

Getting There
Common questions
What is the Castle Hume Course at Lough Erne Resort?
The Castle Hume Course is the second course at Lough Erne Resort — a parkland layout on the shores of Castle Hume Lough and Lower Lough Erne in the Fermanagh Lakelands. Opened in 1992, it is more accessible than the resort's Nick Faldo-designed championship course and provides a good complement for golfers spending two days at the resort. It has hosted ten Ulster PGA Championships.
What is the Nick Faldo course at Lough Erne like?
The Faldo Course is the main attraction at Lough Erne — Nick Faldo's first design in Ireland, a championship parkland on the shores of Lower Lough Erne with fourteen of eighteen holes featuring water in play. The signature 10th hole, known as Emerald Isle, is a short par four with the green projecting into the lough on three sides — a genuine risk-reward hole that produces very different results depending on conditions and nerve.
How do I book the Castle Hume Course?
The Castle Hume Course books through GolfNow. The Faldo Course and resort packages book directly through the Lough Erne Resort website. Both courses are playable as day-visitor options.
Is Lough Erne Resort worth visiting for golf?
Lough Erne is one of the most scenic resort settings in Ireland — the Fermanagh Lakelands landscape of waterways, islands and low hills is exceptional. The resort hotel is five-star. For golfers who want a resort experience in the west of Northern Ireland rather than pure links golf, it is the standout option in the province.
