Awful Experience
Myself and 2 friends recently had an awful experience playing the Foyle 18 Hole golf course. I reserved a three-ball for an 11am tee time today (Tuesday); unfortunately, our round was disrupted on the majority of holes by ongoing course maintenance. Beginning with the first hole and continuing on approximately 15 of the 18 holes, we encountered large lawn mowers operating around the greens and on the fairways as we played and even when teeing off. We gave way to greenkeepers on several holes, however, we did not receive the same treatment, with green keepers continuing to cut close to greens and tee boxes as we played. While I fully recognise and respect the necessity of regular course upkeep, and believe it reasonable to encounter disruptions on 2 or 3 holes, to have encountered multiple disruptions on almost every hole was not acceptable. For instance, on the 18th hole, one mower was cutting right beside the tee box as we began, another was cutting along the fairway as we played, and a third was working by the green as we putted. We were looking forward to a relaxing and sociable round of golf, which was completely ruined. I would not recommend this course and will never be back to play again.Reviewer Rating

Room for Improvement
Foyle is a pleasant course to play and the grounds people work hard to keep it in good condition, However it still has a problem of member players not replacing divits, fixing pitchmarks and using a rake to level sand when coming out of a bunker. This can be frustrating during play. Several of the bunkers could do with more sand. An obvious lack of knowledge of the rules has players spending too long looking for lost ball hence the mark for slow play. Could maybe do with a 'ranger' on the course to keep things moving and players to be on the tee box at the scheduled time.with more sand

With views of the Donegal Hills on one side and the Waters of Lough Foyle on the other, Foyle Golf Course is more than a pleasant environment to pass a few hours particularly when the sun is shining and trees are in full bloom, which it has been this past week.(Round played: Jun 2020 - Score: 94 Handicap: 22.7)

With a 26 bay Driving Range, 9 hole par3 course & beautiful and well kept 18 hole parkland course. As well as footgolf facilities for those who have not fully grasped the love of golf yet! Foyle Golf Centre is a fantastic place to visit and spend time if your looking to play golf in Northern Ireland, situated close to the donegal border amd just five minutes outside of Derry city centre. Would firmly recommend this facility to anybody who enjoys the outdoors and sporting activities.

First time I played it was Oct 2013 ( first time I ever played in Ireland!). Had a great day out with my nephew Martin. Course well maintained considering the weather they had to contend with at that particular time. Very friendly and accommodating staff with a relaxed attitude, nothing was too much trouble. Members extremely friendly and helpful too, they treat you like long lost old friends. Great food in the club house! Great prices for both the golf and food. Will definitely be back!
