Kendal Golf Club

Eighteen holes of proper parkland golf stretch across the rolling countryside just outside Kendal, with the Lakeland fells providing a rather spectacular backdrop to your round. The course winds through mature woodland and open fairways, offering enough challenge to keep keen golfers interested without being too punishing for weekend hackers. You'll find it's a well-maintained track that takes advantage of the natural Cumbrian terrain - expect some elevation changes and the odd tricky lie.

Golfers staying at nearby parks will appreciate having a decent course within easy reach. The Kendal Camping and Caravanning Club Site sits less than two miles away, making it particularly convenient for those who've packed their clubs. While families might not all be keen on a full round, the club welcomes visitors and the setting alone makes it worth considering if you're after a morning away from the caravan.

The course plays well year-round, though like most northern tracks it can get soggy in winter. Allow four hours for a leisurely round, and booking ahead is probably wise during peak summer months when the Lakes are heaving with tourists. It's a solid choice for golfers who want to combine their Lake District holiday with a decent game.
