The next time you visit South Cumbria, whether on holiday or on a golfing break,
why not sample our delightful 9 hole course.

Set on the Cumbrian South West Coast, bordering the Lake District fells, a
Silecroft Golf Club occupies a strip of coastal land adjacent to the Irish Sea on the outskirts of the village of Silecroft in the Western Lake District. Vast sandy beaches and the looming presence of Black Combe dominate the landscape and provide this quiet corner of Lakeland with the unique qualities that are so well loved by locals and visitors alike.
Stand on the first tee and look across the Irish Sea, just a quick slice away, to the Isle of Man shimmering in the distance. As you progress around the course you will see Barrow–in–Furness and Walney Island to the South, whilst to the North is the imposing Black Combe at the foot of which Silecroft Village is located.
On a clear, sunny and still day the course has enough challenges for all handicaps, but when the wind blows…

Information about the local area and comments from
Silecroft golf course is one of those unsung heroes that just gives you great challenging golf with fantastic views of the lake district and unbelievable seascapes as far as the eye can see.
This is a golf course that has wonderful long par 4’s, outstanding bunkering around the short par 3 3rd and a wealth of subtleties that will draw you in to its charm as you wander round.
Each hole you play is memorable and the alternative tees for the back nine just add to the enjoyment. Those opening holes are of exceptional quality, beautiful to look at and a delight to play with the sea just below you and the majesty of the Lakeland fells towering on the other side it’s just so impressive.
I have visited Silecroft over the last ten years and you are all to be congratulated on producing a golf course that is outstanding on so many levels.
If you are visiting the area to play golf make sure you play this one because it is an absolute cracker.
A good test of golf with no par 5’s on the Yellow Tees and only one par five on the White Tees. So if you start dropping shots there’s not many places to get them back. For a nine hole course there are some very good holes out there, if you play to your handicap you have played well. The course is well presented and well worth the green fee (The fee is for all day golf). If the wind is blowing, you will need to be on top of your game to play to your handicap. The course is a par 69 from the White Tees and a par 68 from the Yellow Tees, and I think I am right in saying that the course record is 68. So nobody has made a fool out off Silecroft Golf Club as yet!!
(Its only been open for 112 years).
Enjoy your days golf.
I found the local members to be very helpful and the system easy to book a round of golf.
The course although only nine holes, it made you think your way round and had several tricky hole layouts taking the wind into account.
For a good days golf I would recommend any visitor to the area to give it a try.
The area is a centre for watersports and beachsports of all kinds, a base-camp for walkers who appreciate the charm of the rural landscape without the crowds, as well as being the home of one of Cumbria’s great little golf courses.
Visitors will find a range of accommodation types available with serviced and self-catering, basic to luxury, and everything in between. Among the scattered community of small towns, villages and hamlets can be found genuine, traditional inns and top quality cafes and restaurants. A wide range of independent shops, supplemented by a few small supermarkets satisfy any other needs.
Played March 2 2025.
I’ve played this nice 9 hole links course a lot over the past few years and always enjoyed my game. Today I found the greens incredible considering it’s been a wet winter. I haven’t played on greens this good in a long time.
Give it a go you won’t be disappointed.
