A Co Fermanagh<\/a> golf resort has been named one of the top 100 in the world for 2026.<\/p>\n

Lough Erne Resort<\/a> has been recognised as one of the world\u2019s finest golfing destinations, climbing eleven places since last year to secure 65th position in Golf World\u2019s ‘Top 100 Golf Resorts’ ranking.<\/p>\n

The list is compiled by an expert international panel who consider course quality, facilities, setting and overall experience and Lough Erne<\/a> was the only resort in Northern Ireland to rank this year.<\/p>\n

Golf World praised Lough Erne Resort for its exceptional blend of championship golf and luxury hospitality.<\/p>\n

They said: “There are 36 holes here, with Castle Hume backing up Sir Nick Faldo\u2019s course, which is characterised by dramatic loughside holes and has been in the GB&I Courses Top 100.<\/p>\n

“This is a big jump for this Northern Irish resort, but justified as the golf is more than matched by a 5-star hotel, which sits within a distinctive, ancient building. The lough-edge setting is beautiful and tranquil.”<\/p>\n

Last year, The Faldo Course, designed by Sir Nick Faldo, secured a Top 10 position in Golf World\u2019s Top 100 Parkland Courses in Great Britain and Ireland.<\/p>\n

Barry McCauley, Director of Golf at Lough Erne Resort, said: \u201cEveryone at Lough Erne Resort is absolutely thrilled to see us climb 11 places in this ranking. This recognition is a tremendous endorsement of the quality, condition and character of our two championship courses.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis achievement also reflects the dedication and passion of our entire team, from course maintenance to front-of-house, who work tirelessly all year round to deliver exceptional standards.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Ward and Jeff Mahan of TRU Hotels and Resorts LLC, the US-based operators of Lough Erne Resort, added: \u201cThis latest recognition in Golf World\u2019s Top 100 Golf Resorts is a significant achievement and a true reflection of the commitment and excellence shown by the team at Lough Erne Resort.<\/p>\n

“Securing this position in such a competitive global ranking highlights the strength of the Resort as a true, premier golfing destination.\u201d<\/p>\n
