Penrith Golf Club
Played On 07/07/2022Great club, shocking GolfNow
Booked online, for a tee time the was never available. The club , to their credit, allowed us to play, Andy in the pro shop looked after us and gave us a tee time after he club comp.
Excellent course in great condition and a challenge, but a fair challenge. Greens in fantastic condition, as were the fairways.
No complaints and great value for money.
As for GolfNow? Poor service, no understanding of tee bookings and I won’t be using the system again.
Knott End Golf Club
Played On 06/13/2022Great course in fantastic condition
Not played here for a few years but really pleased to have been back and seen the conditions.
Outstanding and better than I remember. Greens well manicured and the fairways , rough both very well managed.
Windy day made for some tricky conditions but still a great day.

Penrith Golf Club
Played On 07/07/2022Challenging Course, great staff
Let down by GolfNow who booked a tee time that was not available, as it was a competition tee time Andy in the pro shop took great care in ensuring we could actually play a round, especially after a 60 mile journey. We can’t thank him enough as it would have been a wasted journey.
The course is challenging and is in very good condition. The greens are well maintained, difficult to read but fair. The bunkers are well filled and clearly very well looked after.
It was comp day so pace of play was slow but considering we didn’t actually buy a legitimate tee time, I’m not criticising that too much, I’ve experienced far worse.
Thanks to Andy and the club we had a great day’s golf and will go back but will ring the club direct rather than use GolfNow!!
Todmorden Golf Club
Played On 06/09/2021Ok Course but lags behind other (10) holes courses
By my own ignorance I booked Todmorden without checking if it was 18 holes. The reviews I read were good so I just booked.
I should have checked!
Anyway we gave it a go and it was ok, not brilliant but ok. Having recently played Sedbergh, the two courses are vastly different in set up and presentation.
Tod offers the one extra hole and tee position but the other holes are played from the same tee beds. The greens were disappointing, having read the reviews they were not as I expected.
The layout is good and as not many we’re playing, the pace was excellent. The 7/16 offered an interesting challenge and if you play they’re definitely the best two holes.
I may have been spoilt playing other 9/10 hole courses so this didn’t do it for me.
If you travel to play various courses it may be worth a visit.
There were staff present and the bar closed so I can’t comment on those points.
Sedbergh Golf Club
Played On 05/19/2021Good Course in great condition
Wonderful setting for a course that is in fantastic condition with well maintained fairways and greens really well manicured.
Some challenging holes that are far mor fun than standard flat boring courses and all set against the backdrop of the beautiful Cumbrian countryside. The course is a credit to the staff. Could have done with a beer after but found one elsewhere, Shame the clubhouse hasn’t been open on either visit this year.
All in all a great round on a great course and excellent value for money
Silverdale Golf Club
Played On 05/05/2021Beautiful challenging course
I have played at Silverdale before but never when it has been in such great condition.
The fairways and tee beds are very well maintained and the greens in fantastic condition, this following weeks of cold, dry weather and a few days rainfall. The staff have clearly worked hard on this course.
The course is split in two, separated by the road and rail line. The op Ning hole and 11 onwards are on difficult terrain and quite often of your lie can be hounded by undulating fairways or first cut making for some very challenging shots.
The remaining holes across the road offer their own challenges with a few bold shots to small greens, it’s a good challenge and with better course knowledge probably far less frustrating.
Carry out some research and give Silverdale a go, well recommended
Staining Lodge Golf Course
Played On 04/26/2021Excellent round (again)
I played at Staining last week, for the first time in nearly two years and was pleased with the course conditions. I enjoyed it so much I was back there today. Open and forgiving but not without its challenges.
The fairways are well cut and form, giving plenty of run but also some bad kicks!!
The bunkers are well maintained and have proper light sand unlike other courses with stone filled builders sand.
The greens, well manicured and pretty quick are a massive improvement on previous years visits, in fact the course has improved and I will happily return. Great value too
Staining Lodge Golf Course
Played On 04/21/2021Course in great condition
Hadn’t played here since 2019 when there was some work taking place on the back 9 and a couple of ropey greens. Read recent reviews and decided to give it a revisit and glad I did.
The course is in very good condition and is very well maintained. The greens 1-18 are all pretty good and I found the whole round challenging but enjoyable.
Credit must be given to the green keepers/ ground staff who have clearly put in a lot of hard work.
The fairways were well cut, the greens pretty quick and the bunkers in good condition (sadly I speak from experience!)
The ground was dry and firm and all the hazards tidy too.
I would recommend this course, the bar staff were excellent too. All in all a good day and great value for money
Silverdale Golf Club
Played On 09/21/2020Great course & great day at Silverdale GC
I played here a number of years ago and wanted to come back. I’m quite tight so didn’t want to pay more than £20 but did do (£23)
My playing partner had never been before but fell in love with the place within a couple of holes. The first is a wonderful opener leading down and across the road / railway to holes 2-10. These are more open holes but still challenging in their own ways. For 11-18 it’s back across the road / railway to tighter more compact holes and even more challenging.
I found the mix of holes to be fantastic. Uphill , downhill, slant left, slant right and all in the picturesque area of Nth Lancs / Sth Cumbria. The 13th is a great challenge and really quirky.
The fairways and most of the greens were in fantastic condition, some greens on the back had been recently treated and will be fine in a week or so.
All in all a great course, challenging and great to look at. I’ll be going back and it’ll be worth that extra few quid to do so.
Bentham Golf Club
Played On 09/16/2020Great Value For Money
Good course in good condition. Some picturesque and challenging holes with well maintained greens. Well worth a visit and great value for money.
Knott End Golf Club
Played On 08/17/2020Another great day at Knott End GC
I always look for an opportunity to play at Knott End. The overall cost of £15 is a ‘no brainer’. The course had been heavily rained on but had stood up to the test and played well. The fairways are well cut and the greens in excellent condition. I always enjoy the 10th to the 15th and find the holes a good challenge. This round was such good value for money and I will be going back.
The bar is open (but only for drinks and bar snacks) and the staff are welcoming and engaging as was the young lady in the pro shop.
This course is well worth a visit, we played an hour in the rain mid round but if the sun shines you’ll enjoy it even more.
Staining Lodge Golf Course
Played On 07/29/2019Staining Lodge Golf Course
Played On 07/23/2019Back 9 greens in need of work
Not a bad course and value for money if you can get a cheap deal. Some of the greens on the back 9 let this course down. It’s open and forgiving and worth a visit
Lancaster Golf Club
Played On 01/16/2019It’s ok for £20
As I utilise tee off times I play a number of courses and have paid as little as £7 for a round on a good track.
Lancaster is always expensive so when the opportunity arises for a cheaper round it’s worth a visit but it’s not worth £50 , at its peak.
It’s a good course with some interesting and challenging holes and the greens are excellent.
It’s good value for money offered by tee off times but not if you pay full price, you may be disappointed
Kendal Golf Club
Played On 11/19/2018Great course , great views. Worth a visit
The course was in excellent condition, well maintained in every part. The layout is challenging but playable by a high handicapped player such as me!
Greens are well manicured and excellent fairways make for a great day’s golf.
One disappointing point was a very slow fourball of members that wouldn’t let the backlog play through, at any point, even though their own signs suggest they should. Others gave up.
Will consider this before rebooking.
Well worth a visit as long as you avoid the fourball!
Knott End Golf Club
Played On 11/16/2018Another enjoyable round at Knott End
Good course in excellent condition. The greens were great and well maintained, as too were the bunkers!!! Too many courses show little care for their sand traps but all were in good condition .
Well worth a visit
Lytham Green Drive Golf Club
Played On 08/01/2018Lytham Green Drive GC
When in this dry state the course is great and having been early season when it was wet I was very impressed with the difference. The fairways were well maintained and the greens in excellent condition. Green, Lush but still pacey.
I would recommend the course to anyone who hasn’t played it or if you have but it was wet, give it another go now.
The 6th is tricky, protected by numerous bunkers and 14 is an interesting challenge if you ‘go for it!’
Good value for money at £16 . The staff were welcoming and the clubhouse is excellent.
Longridge Golf Club
Played On 07/10/2018Longridge GC
Played last week, last night and I’m going again next week, great course and great value for money
Longridge Golf Club
Played On 06/24/2018Longridge GC
Great course, great condition, friendly staff.
If you’ve not been, you have to visit and play here. The weather helps , given the location but it’s a challenging course with the best views too.
Longridge Golf Club
Played On 06/11/2018Great evening at Longridge GC
Third time at Longridge but I’ll be going back for more.
The course is loving the dry weather, the fairways and greens are in great condition.
The layout of 3 >> 16 is tight in places but still a good layout and plenty of opportunities to recover a poor drive or one that’s hit a slope!!
1/2/17/18 are a good workout and offer quality views too .
All in all a great course and worth a visit.
