Fintona Golf Club, located in Omagh, is a historic parkland 9-hole course. Established in 1904, just on the village outskirts, this course offers a unique twist - many holes have different tees the second time around, making each round engaging and challenging.
Jonathan, the club organiser, ensures a warm welcome for golfers of all levels. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting out, expect a pleasant round followed by a friendly atmosphere in the bar. The club hosts various competitions and events, giving players a chance to showcase their skills and vie against fellow enthusiasts.
The facilities extend beyond the course. The recently refurbished clubhouse offers a comfortable environment for relaxing and enjoying a meal or drink post-game. Jonathan has also made booking easy with the Tee Time Reservation Service, allowing players to book their game online with ease.
For a complete golfing getaway, Fintona Golf Club has teamed up with Kilcootry Barn, just two miles away. This luxury self-catering accommodation boasts 5-star amenities, perfect for combining a stay with a round at one of Northern Ireland's finest nine-hole courses.
Jonathan takes pride in the club's well-maintained and challenging course. Each hole has unique characteristics and obstacles, with the opportunity to play 18 holes providing a fresh perspective the second time around. The course, set within mature parkland, showcases natural beauty, though the Northern Ireland weather adds an element of unpredictability.
The first hole, a Par 4, is an opportunity for a strong start. The fairway is lined with a river on the left and a striking tree on the right. Precision is key to avoid hazards and reach the elevated green.
The second hole, also a Par 4, is known as the hardest for men. It features a slight dogleg right, with a fairway that slopes from left to right. Long drives may reach the plateau, setting up an attack on the tricky green.
The third hole, another Par 4, rewards accuracy off the tee. A long hitter’s dream, but a noteworthy tight shot for lady golfers. Avoiding the bunker is crucial for reaching the green.
Open to members and visitors, Fintona Golf Club offers a variety of membership and green fee options. Whether you’re a local or a tourist in Omagh, Jonathan ensures an enjoyable and memorable golfing experience for all.
