Keswick Golf Club

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

The course layout seems to be quite good and the staff were friendly, but we had to walk off after completing 4 holes due to the course conditions. The staff in the clubhouse had advised us that it was damp underfoot,but in no way did we expect this to mean that balls would be plugging on greens and fairways. The course should have been closed. Played through first 4 holes and after losing plugged balls into the 5th fairway from our tee shots, walked off. Would not play again.

I’ve played here half a dozen times now. The course has a lovely lay out and some great holes, if you hit a long drive and are adventurous the last 2 par fives are reachable in 2 if you take an aggressive line and go over the trees, the 16th par 3 is a cracking hole guarded by a tree to the left of the green, so good luck hitting the green but it’s doable, the greens are very slow here which is so strange as they look like they should be rapid, I was very disappointed as they were hollow tining the greens in September? Overall it’s a good course and it never seems to busy

Excellent value for this challenging course with an entertaining range of holes. The fairways were lush and made the ball easier to hit but several greens were rather uneven and lumpy. The rough is thick and almost impossible to hit out of but the fairways are nice and wide. Playing the course is hard with lots of gradients but that’s how it should be. Views over Blencathra are a constant delight.

Tees, fairways and greens were so well done. No bunkers on this course but a great mix of wide open fairways, narrow tee shots and tricky corners to navigate. The views are spectacular and rival any of the North American courses..

Visited Keswick GC for the first time in a while on Friday and thoroughly enjoyed the layout and the course conditions. Really well kept, amazing scenery and a tough course despite it not being too long. Would consider a buggy as its pretty hilly in places. Course hospitality and catering were brilliant - would certainly want to play it again given some of the blind shots. Should be on your list to play if you haven’t already.

Booked a round for when we were on holiday in the area. Woke up on the morning and checked the course status on their website which said, despite it being nice weather for a few days, that only 9 holes were open and that it was very wet. So I called the club to cancel as we didn’t want to play the same 9 holes twice which I’m guessing is what they would suggest. Called the club 18 times between 8:30 and 11:15 (our tee time was 11:28) but there was no answer. Club doesn’t appear to have a pro shop so had to choose between the office or the bar!? No one answered either. Long story short, we paid for a round that we didn’t play because no one answered the phone to give us a refund!

The course is in one of the most scenic anywhere in the UK. We had a lovely lunch before our round it was amazing quality of food and service was superb. Wry friendly not stuffy at all. The course was varied and challenging and very well tended. Will revisit for sure. Highly recommended.
