In collaboration with Castlehume Golf & Leisure and Nick Faldo, GRAS developed the masterplan for the International Championship Course, Spa Hotel, golf village, and waterside apartments located on the shores of Lough Erne and Castlehume Lough in Enniskillen. The development includes approximately eighty-eight new holiday homes designed to complement the surrounding landscape and heritage.
Design inspiration was drawn from the historic estates of Castlehume and Ely Lodge, ensuring the village sits comfortably within its natural setting. The layout reflects the balanced hierarchical organisation characteristic of eighteenth-century estate planning, with carefully arranged spaces that promote a sense of order and connection to the wider landscape.
The site gained notable recognition when it hosted the inaugural ‘Duel on the Lough’ event in July 2009, a celebrated match between Padraig Harrington and Rory McIlroy. This event highlighted the course’s status as a world-class venue and reinforced the masterplan’s success in creating a distinguished leisure destination.
