Opened on the 1st July 2009, the Faldo Championship course at Lough Erne is the latest European project to be unveiled by the six-time major winner and now pre-eminent player-architect of his generation. The modern championship layout is a genuine tournament layout that is set to be featured on the European Tour in the near future.
Carved through mature woodland and then expanding along the lake shores, Faldo’s course is majestic sight and a daunting test. Distinctive par-3s and phenomenal long driving holes are among the highlights of Lough Erne, a new star on the European golf scene.
Lough Erne’s inauguration was crowned by an amazing high stakes exhibition match between Ireland’s two golfing stars – Padraig Harrington and Rory McIlroy.
