Belturbet Golf Club
Belturbet Golf Club, in County Cavan, is a 9-hole parkland course which was opened in 1948. Much of the preparatory work was carried out by its founder members and the club has used the money brought in by golfing visitors over the years to improve the course. A large number of trees have been planted, for instance, while the drainage system has also been upgraded. Most holes on the course are played to elevated greens, creating a good test for players of differing abilities.
Good shots to small greens will be rewarded with holeable birdie putts. A game here is very good value for money and it is the ideal place if you want a fun game of golf. Erne Hill, Belturbet
