Earhart Course - 18 Hole Championship Par 71
Foyle's Earhart Course is premium parkland golf at its best, set at the foot of the Donegal Hills with views reaching both sides of the border. The course itself presents a true test of golf for golfers of all handicaps and abilities. Those with length off the tee will gain an initial advantage, but accuracy will also benefit the shorter hitter who keeps it out of the various hazards present on the course.
Those curious as to the name behind the course will be intrigued to learn that it is in fact named after Ms Amelia Earhart, who was the first woman to fly the Atlantic solo. In fact, it is the 6th green at Foyle where her plane landed in 1932 and has been passed down through generations of the Gallagher Family who continue to work the land to this day.
Greens have been laid to USGA specification, based on sand which gives year round playability. The putting surface has come to be a talking point for all those who visit, particularly in the summer months when they are famed for their pace and accuracy. All greens continue to be used right through the winter, without ever the need for temporary greens, much to the satisfaction of members and visiting golfers alike.
Water comes into play on 3 holes, the most notable of which must be the 10th hole where a precise tee shot is paramount to avoid danger of water to the left and out of bounds to the right. An approach shot past the lake to the green must avoid a deep greenside bunker, but may be rewarded with glimpses of local wildlife including swans and ducks residing on the island nearby.
