Lough Erne Resort Offers a Scenic Escape Tied to The Open Championship
As golf fever sweeps across Northern Ireland in celebration of The Open Championship, Lough Erne Resort is offering a timely retreat that pairs championship-level golf with a taste of the region’s burgeoning gin scene.
A Scenic Golfing Destination
Located just outside Enniskillen in County Fermanagh, Lough Erne Resort is home to two championship courses, including the Faldo Course, recently ranked the No. 6 parkland course in Great Britain and Ireland by Golf World. The resort is known for its combination of lakeside serenity, high-end accommodations, and challenging fairways, making it a notable destination for golf travelers.
A Retreat Blending Sport and Spirits
In honor of The Open’s return to Northern Ireland, Lough Erne has launched a special “Golf & Gin Retreat” package. Starting at £295 per person, the offer includes:
- A traditional welcome with tea or coffee and a bacon roll
- A round on the Faldo Course, known for its dramatic landscape and demanding design
- A tasting session of Boatyard Gin, a local craft gin produced nearby
- Overnight accommodation in a lakeside room or suite
- A full breakfast with views over the water
Guests can also choose to upgrade the experience with a guided tour of The Boatyard Distillery, located on the banks of Lough Erne, to learn more about the production process and sample limited-edition gins.
Celebrating The Open Locally
While The Open Championship takes center stage on the international golf calendar, Lough Erne’s retreat offers a chance to enjoy the game in a more relaxed setting, complemented by local flavors and luxury amenities. It’s a weekend escape tailored to those who enjoy the social side of sport as much as the competitive one.
Bookings require guests to quote “The Open” at the time of reservation. Availability is limited. Visit: www.lougherneresort.com
