Fintona is a favourite course of Ronan Rafferty, the popular Irishman who took the time to single out the layout during a television programme on Irish golf journeys. The club has even more reason to celebrate as next year is its centenary year and big things are planned to mark the occasion.

It is superb, wonderfully eventual nine-hole course, featuring a meandering trout stream that pops up on every hole except one. In terms of its condition, there are few courses in the region that can claim to be in better order and that is part of its attraction. A clubhouse was opened a few years ago to compliment the course.
