THE four-star Roe Park Resort in Limavady has completed a £1 million investment programme in its golf course ahead of the Irish Open taking place on the north coast next month.

The investment has seen major redevelopment of the resort's golf course and facilities, which was completed with the opening of the 6th hole this month at a cost of £100,000.

The resort’s golf & spa manager Terry Kelly says the investment in redesigning and remodelling the 18-hole parkland course brings it to world-class standards.

“We are delighted to complete these further developments of the golf course as the changes have transformed the course following a significant investment programme over the past number of years," he said.

"The investment in the golf course not only makes it an award-winning course today, but also ensures it will remain a prestige course in the years to come.

“We would like to thank all of our members and visiting golfers for their support and patience as we made these course enhancements. This development would not have been possible without their continued cooperation.”

The Roe Park Resort golf course was recognised at the 2017 Irish Hotel Awards being named ‘Golf Hotel of the Year’. It also picked up the ‘Best Golf Resort in Ulster’ accolade at the 2017 Golfers’ Guide to Ireland Awards.

Over the past number of years the golf offer at the Roe Park Resort has developed not only on the course, but also with state-of-the-art indoor and outdoor teaching facilities for both the professional golfer and beginner looking to learn more and get hooked on the game.
