However, it is also a popular society venue, welcoming groups and individual visitors alike, the emphasis being on friendliness rather than formality.

The golf shop has a wide range of branded merchandise and is open seven days per week. There are extensive practice facilities and trolley, club and motorised buggy hire also available throughout the week. The clubhouse offers the usual range of services - bar, television, snooker and catering which by arrangement can vary from early breakfasts to a lunchtime sandwich or a formal evening meal.

The Ulster American Folk Park and Ulster History Park are ten minutes away, with Fermanagh's lakeland and the beaches of Donegal within an hour's drive.
