Excellent moorland course

I can see there are some negative reviews on here regarding the sheep, but that's typical of moorland courses and just adds to the charm. All greens were surrounded by electric fences, so no sheep poo there, I didn't notice that much anyway and you get relief from it. Course in good condition and very playable compared to others after a lot of wet weather. Excellent layout with all holes well separated from each other, stunning views of the surrounding area. The General Manager was very welcoming and helpful

Wonderful moorland course

Have played Appleby a few times over last 30 years and it never fails to impress. It was in excellent condition with great greens. A very different type of course with some stunning holes and views of the fells. The staff are very helpful and friendly. Strongly recommend

Proper golf course.

We were originally playing another course but turned up to 4 holes closed and mats on fairways (something that wasn't on their website) which wasn't ideal so booked up at Appleby and made our way there.
Full course on summer tees and pretty dry considering the rain we'd had. Great course in great condition.

Appleby FARM Course

I’m not usually one to write reviews as it could bring unwanted publicity.
But paying £100 for a 3 ball to knock round a farm is ridiculous. Sheep poo all over fairways, only thing protected was the greens.

Granted they’ve been spiked and sanded.
But the price is mental. !!!
