THE Roe Park Resort in Limavady has defeated a host of illustrious rivals to be named Golf Resort of the Year at the Irish Golf Awards.

It is the first time the Co Derry golf course has won the Ireland Golf Tour Operators Association (IGTOA) award, voted for by a panel of expert tour operators and travel agents from across the island of Ireland.

The recognition follows a stream of success for the Roe Park Resort, since its investment of £400,000 in its golf and leisure facilities – which saw the redevelopment of its golf course.

Since 2015 the resort has won eight awards including the Best Golf Resort in Ulster for 2016 and 2017 and the 2017 Golf Hotel of the Year by the Irish Hotel Awards.

Golf manager at the Roe Park Resort, Terry Kelly said they were delighted to receive the prestigious award.
