Only a few minutes drive from Belmore Court Motel you will find Enniskillen Golf Club and Castle Hume Championship Golf Course
Enniskillen Golf Club
Enniskillen Golf Club was founded in 1896 and is situated approximately one mile from Enniskillen town centre, in the heart of the beautiful Fermanagh Lakeland.
The eighteen hole, par 71 parkland course provides a challenge to golfers of all abilities. Mature oak and beech trees, some over 100 years old, line the narrow fairways.
The opening "Road Hole" has been described by many as the most intimidating starting hole they have played. Although the opening nine holes have been in existence for only fifteen years, trees and shrubbery are well matured and will cause some golfers the occasional problem. The fifth green and ninth tee offer spectacular views over the town of Enniskillen and the surrounding countryside. The feature hole of the course is the short par 4 seventh, which dog-legs right around a small lake. A tantalising glimpse of the green will tempt the bigger hitters into "going for it" with their tee shot. Anything other than an arrow straight shot will result in a reload.
A new elevated medal tee for this hole is now open for play. The back nine is mature parkland, bordering the Castlecoole Estate, which is a National Trust Property. The tight fairways of the eleventh, twelfth, sixteenth and seventeenth holes will ensure a memorable score for some. The peacefulness of the surroundings will, however, more than compensate for any bad golf. A warm welcome is assured at the comfortable nineteenth hole.
