full of interest

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.

Golf Course has Stunning Views

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

This course a little belter

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.

the appleby course

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.

Two very nice par threes.

Other than the two par threes, felt as though we were playing in a farmers feild. With fence round every green to keep the sheep off. Greens were very good. But sheep and excrement covering each fair way and surrounding rough. Wind was strong so difficult going.

Very good

Played for the 1st time today. Greens very good considering the weather. On winter tees which shortens some of the holes a little. Very testing on a wet and windy day

Wonderful Appleby

Been to Appleby numerous times for Open Competitions but decided to take some friends for a day out.

Everything was superb. The weather helped as there wasn't a breath of wind which helps on a course set on moorland. The course was in excellent shape and the greens some of the best I've played on.

Caterers were due to finish at 3.30 on a Tuesday but stayed on to feed us after our round. Fantastic service and lovely food.

We'll be going back again without a doubt.
