Loughgall Country Park & Golf Course

Get on course for a golf feast… Loughgall Country Park and Golf Course has been designed to provide all golfers with a test of skill and composure.

And what golfer could ask for more? A course that both challenges and teases offers a credible examination of concentration and confidence. Certainly, the front nine holes of this eye-catching par 72 creation will surely ask some pertinent questions of golfers irrespective of their handicap. The 3547 yards to be covered incorporate the mischievous par 3 5th hole at 223 yards and the testing par 5 9th at 614 yards.

The shorter back nine presents an opportunity to perhaps restore lost ground by picking up shots with short par fours but watch out for the tricky 17th – don’t say you haven’t been warned! With water hazards, bunkers and some cleverly-placed sloping areas, the course is meant to bring out the best in those using it. The fairways, although generous, still ensure that those guilty of errant shots will pay a penalty whereas smart club selection and strategic play will be rewarded with better scores.

The greens have been constructed to USGA (sand based) specification and with an average size of 700m sq some lengthy putts are usually the order of the day. Overall, if your goal is a golfing challenge in appealing surroundings at a reasonable price, then you will have found it at Loughgall Country Park & Golf Course.

Loughgall Country Park is nothing if not an angler’s paradise. The well stocked 37-acre ‘Lough’ – the dominant feature of the Park overall – is certainly proving to be a magnetic attraction for fishermen from near and far.

With 100 fishing stands now fully operational – there are facilities for the disabled included, of course – it means that the ‘Lough’ has more than adequate accommodation for those from the angling fraternity wishing to indulge in their passion.

The lake waters tend to vary in depth from summer to winter through rainfall affecting small feeder streams. But there is one significant constant – fish stocking is carried out to ensure that the overall quality of fishing is maintained at a high level.

And it’s hardly surprising that regular competitions are organised by Angling clubs for both coarse matches and pike fishing. The venue is used as part of the Blackwater Open which attracts the top match anglers for what is a major two-day Competition. Lough Muckno in Castleblayney is the other venue used in this cross-border competition which is aided through European Funding from the Blackwater Regional Partnership.

Given that the natural fish species in the Lough include roach, perch, tench and eels as well as carp and bream along with pike of course it is easy to understand why anglers flock to Loughgall to cast their lines.

A Coarse Fishing rod licence must be produced before a daily or yearly ticket can be purchased. There are adult and junior rates. Licences can be purchased at the Country Park Shop.

For the younger generation we have a play area and a junior adventure trail. It includes an array of traditional play equipment such as swings, slides and climbing frames. Children can also enjoy a mini-assault course that gives them the chance to develop coordination, balance, agility, athleticism and stamina in a non-competitive environment.
