Quality and welcoming

Turned up early as I wasn’t from the area, the man behind the bar was very welcoming great sense of humour and should me and my wife around the facilities.
The course was great even with the wind, difficult hole no4 I think but a brilliant par three 16th absolutely loved the course.

What a great golf course. First time I’ve played there but will definitely be going back, the lady in the shop was lovely and explained where to go. The tee shot from the orange tees on the 4th is something else and the 15th has to be one of the best par 3s around. If you’ve not been, go you won’t be disappointed

Fantastic course!

Brilliant course, very well kept, greens are some of the best I’ve seen in Cumbria and overall it is a cracking course! Will be back for sure.
I can’t comment on off course amenities as they weren’t open but I have heard they are just as good.

Simply wonderful!

What an incredible round on this beautiful course! It’s so open, like having the whole course to yourself. Stunning landscape surrounds the course, sheep grazing everywhere. Great holes present challenge and lots of fun. Highly recommended. Thanks to the membership for opening this up for public play.

Rough impossible

Have played the course many times before and always enjoyed the challenge. This times it seems the rough has be allowed to grow very high making finding any stray shot impossible to find and I mean impossible to find !!!
This mean shots just off the fairway were lost spoiling the game.
Will give this course a miss in future.

Thoroughly enjoyable experience

Lovely course and clubhouse with great views of the surrounding landscape. Got off to a great start with a very warm welcome from club staff and superb breakfast. The weather was very kind and the course very dry which gave it a links kind of feel. Not a long course but a few challenging holes especially if and when the wind blows (lucky was gentle breeze when we played) Challenging par 3s especially the potential card wrecking no 15. Thoroughly recommend you give this place a visit.

Cracking condition for January!!

Greens as good as you will find anywhere this time of year.
Rough very light. 3 of us played and not 1 lost ball. Fairway mats were used but didn't hit many fairways so not used too much.
Busy clubhouse for a couple of pints and a bite to eat.
Highly recommended!!

Unbelievable conditions and staff

For this time of year it is very hard to find playing conditions that are up to the expectation of summer. However, Appleby delivers. From moment of arrival the staff in receptions me age were nothing but helpful and friendly. Then the course delivered above expectations. We had been recommended by a friend that openly is a grey course, especially in the winter. The greens were quick and true, fair ways solid and the tee boxes flat. We okay a lot of golf as a trio but this was truly a remarkable experience for a cold winter day after so much rain . Thank you!

Nice course with some tricky par threes. Miss the fairway and you can usually find your ball as the sheep keep the rough in good condition.very nice course would play again .
