Fabulous course in fabulous location

Great course in an amazing location with great views. Very good mix of tees for both low and high handicappers, some long holes and quite a physically demanding course. Will definitely be back!

Nice course shame about lack of staff

Just returned from playing Kirby lonsdale - nice course ! Would be cracking come summer time .

Unfortunately there were no kitchen staff so we couldn’t get a sandwich after 9 or 18 holes , not even any mugs next to the coffee machine although someone did find us some .

We played the front 9 and decided to warm up with a brew ( we were hoping to get a bacon buttie but no chance ).

So had a drink and went back out following a 4 ball , as we waited to tee off a member stomped up to us claiming we’ve pushed in ! Now it was unintentional and we apologized but the guy obviously wanted an argument !! Just no need !!

We finished our round and went to get a winning beer or two , got served ok tried to get served again and just got blanked ! Plenty of lady members serving themselves mulled wine but they looked at us and walked away with not a hint of anyone either willing to serve us or offering to find someone who would .

We left .

Obviously one of those stuffy courses who want your money but don’t want you to be there .

Can’t say we’ll be racing back there again.

Disappointing

The fairways hadn't been cut so only half the ball was visible so there was no running and it was difficult or not possible to use fairway woods and the rough was a hack out job. It was also difficult to find the ball as the course was covered in daisies. We were following a society and had to wait on every tee. We won't be rushing back. Didn't bother going into the bar.

Great round at Kirkby Lonsdale

Having played here last summer and been disappointed following some wet weather I found the course to be in very good condition and challenging.

Each hole is interesting and has its own level of difficulty.

Long holes, raised greens, doglegs and blind drives this course is fantastic. If the different holes don’t occupy you the views will.

Great value for money and I will be going back.

Great course, shame about the winter greens

I play here quite regularly as it is local to me and I can often find a good deal. The course is set in a beautiful area, the facilities are good and the greens tend to be really well looked after.

We were on winter greens for 17 of the 18 holes and my one criticism would be of the standard of the winter greens - some were nigh on impossible and resembled first cut rough rather than even fairway. Despite this we had a great round and thoroughly enjoyable time. The bacon butties half way round are well worth investing in too! We will be back!

Enjoyable course without being too testing - if you stay on the (wide) fairways.

Great Course

Can't fault the course, in fact I would go as far as saying it was a real pleasure to play it, I did expect a much smaller course but that isn't the case, with no one holding us up (2 of us) it still took about 4 hours ish! Beautiful settings and a very well groomed course, ground staff doing a great job. We didn't tee off until 5:36pm and there wasn't anyone there to show our booking to, hence not marking the staff and amenities boxes. Great experience and will definitely be playing there again.

Great course in a fantastic location

After a week of playing courses in Scotland in the pouring rain, we decided to play Kirby Lonsdale on the way home. We weren't disappointed. The sun was out, the sky was blue and the course was in perfect condition. Full marks to the groundstaff. The course layout is brilliant with several doglegs and water hazards. And the views of the surrounding countryside are amazing.. Highly recommended.(16hcap)
