Golf courses in Cumberland

Cumberland offers golf in some of England's most spectacular scenery. The Lake District fells provide a dramatic backdrop to courses in the western Lakes, while the Solway coast offers links golf with views across to Scotland.

Silloth on Solway is the region's golfing jewel - a genuine championship links that has hosted amateur events and is consistently ranked among England's finest courses. The course's remote location keeps it wonderfully uncrowded, yet the quality of the golf rivals far more famous venues.

The terrain ranges from pure links along the Solway coast to courses nestled in Lake District valleys with mountain views. Cumberland's climate is characteristically Cumbrian - expect rain, but embrace it as part of the experience. The links at Silloth drains superbly and is playable year-round, while summer in the Lakes brings long days and the chance of fine weather amid extraordinary scenery.
