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!

This course has lovely views

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 .

Challenging course

If you can avoid the sheep and sheep droppings on the course, then you’ll have an enjoyable if challenging game.

Enjoyable course

Really like this course,very open area and spacious with great views. Quite tricky with narrow fairways but not too severe rough . You gotta be straight off the tee. I just like the wild feel of the place. Good meal as well, in a well layed out clubhouse.

A hidden gem

A wonderful course in amazing condition. Tee boxes, fairways and Greens all very good.

Greens super quick and run true.

Staff and members are always very friendly towards visitors and even though clubhouse is closed you can still get hot and cold snacks.

Would highly recommend

Winter at Appleby

Considering the weather and the COVID situation the course had winter teas and winter greens on and you had to play of a mat on the fairways, it was very enjoyable with no hold up in play.

The actual greens looked in great condition and we can’t wait to come back again
