Golfing
Newtownstewart Golf Club, founded in 1914, lies at the foot of Bessy Bell
mountain in the rolling parkland of Baronscourt, ancestral estate owned by
the Duke of Abercorn. It is an 18-hole course situated on Baronscourt Estate
and is laid out in an attractive parkland setting. Mature beech trees and
wildlife such as pheasants, red squirrels and buzzards, together with views
of the surrounding Sperrins make just being on the course a pleasure. The
Course is a Par 70 and is 5,341 metres long and is widely recognised as being
one of the best inland courses in Northern Ireland.
The Club has held Pro Am tournaments and regularly hosts GUI qualifying
events but it is also a popular society venue, welcoming groups and individual
visitors alike, the emphasis being on friendliness rather than formality. The
clubhouse offers the usual range of services - bar, television and snooker,
and the golf shop offers a wide range of branded merchandise and trolley, club
and motorised buggy hire.
For a change of activity or for the non-golfers in the party, the immediate
vicinity offers river and lake game angling, shooting clays and hill walking.
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.
