Appleby Golf Club

Played on a sunny and breezy afternoon. Warm (distanced) welcome. Friendly members. Not long on the card but a solid test of golf - fairways hard to find, elevation changes and clumps of deep rough, gorse and heather. This is good, honest club golf. Greens were smooth as billiard tables (sheep kept at bay by electric fences) though thankfully not frighteningly swift. A joy to putt on. Any missed putts were user error. Standout holes were the fun par 3s at 4 and 15. The drive across a fern filled chasm at 5 was not for the faint-hearted. Support this club - it's a hidden gem.

First time in over 10 years returned to Appleby and really enjoyed the day. The greens were excellent and very quick. The gents in the clubhouse were very welcoming both staff and members.

Excellent value for money all round.

Played this in what started out playable conditions which soon turned ugly. High up on west moorland pennine country this can happen. Wind and rain made it impossible to continue after 10 holes and we had to head in to the sanctuary of the very welcoming staff at the clubhouse. Good facilities and restaurant on site. A bit out the way from appleby itself so you need a car. The course was varied but very open and undulating. The front 9 manifested itself on the eastern side of the land before you make an anti clockwise turn into the prevailing wind for the start of the back 9 which can be very tough into the normal south westerly wind. We couldnt complete our round as there is no contact number that we could find to reclaim our £18 pp that we paid for 1/2 a round which is disappointing from golf now as officially the course have to close the course and we have to contact golf now and they have to contact them to confirm. It's a terrible arrangement and my friend and I were out of pocket as a result and we wont book in advance in future if there is the slightest chance we will be rained off.

I didn’t play as well as expected, however it was still a great pleasure just being there , fantastic !

Played on the 13/07/2019 with a four ball and loved every minute of this stunning course , great views greens were in amazing condition and a very hard but enjoyable place to come as every hole is different but there are some crackers! Big thank you to the chef who cooked us a great breakfast made us feel very welcome and looked after our every needs and even a few little tips from him, A must come and visit golf course which come's with stunning views great food and a great service .thank you for a good time .

Fabulous greens make this course a must play.

Interesting arrangement of holes.

Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Food was excellent.

Overall an enjoyable round of golf despite the windy conditions

Would recommend to anyone.

Have played the course many times before and have always enjoyed it. The condition of the course and the weather was perfect. Its is a great example of a moorland course with some very unusual holes. It can be a very challenging knock in poor weather.

Great location. Great value and friendly staff.

The course literally blends into the landscape and the wildlife roams free. Once you get used to stepping over the electric fence protecting the greens golf is good. The turf underfoot is soft to walk on and great for ball striking.

Got to try it to understand .Will be playing again.

Excellent course greens perfect animals a bonus to look at on way round

The course was in good condition despite having rained for the previous two days. Some deceptive holes for the first timer. Watch out for wind picking up mid afternoon as this made the last 3 holes a challenge. Staff friendly. I will definitely play Appleby again

Excellent course with some challenging holes, weather was good until the last three holes when it rained heavy. Lovely club house and friendly staff.

This was a challenging course for a 36 handicapper but I really enjoyed it. It was very different from what I was used to and that was part of its charm. I will definitely go back.

We played golf course shortly after Cumbria County Event

Golf Course was in stunning Condition big Pat on Back to Green Staff

Unfortunately the welcome we received from the Professional was not very encouraging, in fact he totally lacked any personality.

We arrived early as we were unsure how long it would take to travel from home, on arriving in Pro Shop I asked if we could play earlier than our tee time, despite the course being extremely quiet we were told to wait until our allotted time.

The Clubhouse staff couldn't have made us more welcome as we had some refreshment before and after our round.

Would definitely play course again But "MR Personality" needs to cheer up

Played the course today, lightish breeze 10 mph tops. Found it to be a real challenge with a number of really stunning holes and I mean right up there the best I have come across anywhere. I am 10 handicap and I just played to it hear but I had one of those rounds where I did not piut a foot wrong. Greens are top quality and good as any I have played this year. A very fair track that rewards good golf. The staff from the time we arrived to when we left were very helpful and chatty. Without question will be back again next year when we are up in the Dales on holiday. Will even go out of our way to play this one again.

Deff worth the drive to find this hidden coarse. Luckily the weather was lovely but the coarse layout and condition was superb. Friendly members and challenging tee shots combined with lovely fast greens made our visit very enjoyable. Would deff recommend

played there with two others , first looked at it on the internet but was a little sceptical about it because of the pictures we saw. but we decided to go and have a look, staff were very helpfiull and friendly as was everyone we met while playing our round. we all were quite impressed about how nice it was to play this course and how much different it was when you actually played it as opposed to just judging it by the interenet photos. very different to most courses we have played, but we would definetly go back and play there again.
