The Five Lakes Resort offers two challenging 18 hole golf courses. The 6,768 yards par 72 Lakes Course, designed by Neil Coles, has generous fairways, large greens and water hazards. This Championship course will ensure you use every club in the bag. The course has hosted Stage One of European Tour School in recent years.

The 6,181 yards par 71 Links Course presents a very different challenge and will test your precision to the limit. With its strategically placed water hazards, sand bunkers and well guarded greens it proves an excellent challenge.
