The resort has purchased 20 brand new environmentally-friendly EZ-GO golf carts, bringing the total buggy fleet at Lough Erne Resort to 55 golf carts, one of the largest golf fleets located at any golf club or resort across the whole of Ireland.

Barry McCauley, golf operations manager at Lough Erne Resort, said: “We are very pleased to be able to make this announcement as we continue to grow the already respected golfing stature of Lough Erne Resort. With over 600 acres of golf courses spread across 36 holes, our experienced golf team will ensure that we have a strong buggy fleet available to cover both golf courses for our valued members and visitors.”

These new EZ-GO golf carts are up to 60% lighter than previous models which adds an extra safety aspect to the use of the cart. Their batteries charge much faster and can cover up to 36 holes in one day without needing a recharge, which makes the whole experience more enjoyable for the large number of golfers the resort welcomes throughout the year.
