Keswick Golf Club

Got there nice and early had the place to myself and played awful… 😂😂… absolute diamond of a course.. the views are 2nd to none and I even got a fly by from an RAF euro fighter.. 2nd time I’ve played Keswick and I’ll definitely be back.. very challenging 😥 ❤️⛳️

I played here during an annual family holiday to the Lake District for February half term. It’s a great course and is in a nice location, just off the A66 and is surrounded by the Lake District fells. You gets some very nice views of the mountains as you go round, which had a light dusting of snow on the tops when I played. The course was in great condition despite being the back end of winter too. Staff were very friendly and helpful. The round was a bargain too costing £20. Would definitely play here again.

It was very wet course but it is not a beginner course and it hard for me to make a good score

We discovered an absolute gem of a course, with more than enough hazards to keep us on our toes. The course is very well kept - especially being located at the foot of the fell.

Loved getting so close to the red deer too!

The only downside being that I lost my jacket there the previous week - still hoping someone hands it in.

Hilly course so take plenty of energy food. First time I've played in ages but I loved it. Fantastic views all around. Good combination of testing holes and birdie opportunities.

Last minute decision to play, after pouring with rain all morning I saw a deal for £12.99 and I’m really glad I chose to play, although the course was very damp, the views, and the course were much better than what you’d expect from the price. I will most definitely be playing here in the future, hopefully on a slightly drier day :)

It was a bit on the boggy side, but the course has that reputation.

But still an enjoyable day none the less. Club house and staff friendly, food was good.

First time visit to Keswick.

What a fabulous location.

Weather has been good for a while, so expecting great things.

Our muddy trudge up the first fairway was a sign of things to come.

Every ball hit was either plugging or stopped dead, with mud balls all the way.

I hoped that as we climbed to higher holes we might find better conditions. Wrong.

The entire course was no better than a series of muddy fields. The greens, although slow, were the best part of a poor experience.

To cap it all, we arrived at the 18th green which is a very underwhelming final hole.

No more than a green cut in a flat, soggy field.

Enjoyed a pint and sandwich before we departed.

Poor winter golf at summer rates.

Arrived for 9.52am tee time on Saturday 10th August and the whole clubhouse, pro shop and lounge was completely deserted ☺️.

Course itself is a brilliant test of golf, not overly long, but the ever present wind adds/changes distance.

Brutal rough.... Anytime wide of the 1st cut snd don't even try to find it.

Great gem of a course.

Great value and what a delight to return to KGC after about 3 decades. The course has been brought on with nice touches on tees and greens. At nearly 6200 yards there's many testing par 4's and 3's here. The 2nd par 3 hole is 238 yards and the uphill par 4 13th at 417 yards demands two good shots. No bunkers but enough rough and natural hazards bring strategy into a lot of holes. You just wonder how good this course can get with improved drainage in areas and a few more touches here and there. The views of Blencathra are all part of a great unique golf course setting.

Played on a Tuesday morning. There was no one in front of me so no hold ups. The course is well laid out, it was quite wet but I am presuming they have had a lot of rain. Overall a good course to play as there are a few challenging holes

Played early Sunday after a 24 hour deluge of rain. Still playable, a few bits of standing water ro be expected. Greens held up well. Quite a few interesting holes, have to think your way around. Nice staff in bar after round.

A very scenic course with stunning surrounding scenery. Considering all the rain the course was in excellent condition, esp the greens. Some fairways were plugging, to be expected however there was no surface water and excess sogginess! The rough is cruel, if you go in impossible to find ball so play straight! Clubhouse was accessible but bar not open ,staff very friendly and recommended a good local pub for lunch post round. If you are in the area or passing thru with clubs in the boot well worth a round.

Course was good overall, in wet conditions it would be very muddy, green ok a couple not able to putt due to worm casts, lovely views, would play again good value, no bar open so no beer to conclude the round

Great course. Wide fairways.

Enjoyable to play. Don’t need a sand wedge.

Great value for money.

Nice layout and some interesting holes with a great backdrop
