Foyle Golf Club (Earhart)

Hole19 golfers rate Foyle Golf Club (Earhart) highly, drawn to this 18-hole semi-private parkland course in Northern Ireland, United Kingdom. The layout runs through tree-lined fairways with sand bunkers and water hazards throughout. Hole 4, named Thornhill and playing as Stroke Index 2, demands a long drive between trees followed by a lengthy approach into an undulating green ringed by sand. Hole 6 marks the field where Amelia Earhart landed her plane in 1932, giving the course a genuine historical footnote. The practice setup is substantial: a 35-bay all-weather driving range, floodlit until 10pm and powered by Trackman radar ball-tracking technology. The Foyle Golf Academy is run by PGA Professionals Derek Morrison and Sean Young, covering beginners through to advanced amateurs. The clubhouse includes Pitchers Wine Bar & Restaurant, the Amelia Bar, and a Golf Store Europe pro shop. The course holds the Northern Ireland Tourist Board Quality and Assurance Mark.
