What the club says: Appleby Golf Club is situated two miles east of the town centre just off the A66. The club enjoys a golfing history dating back to 1894 when the game was played on the Minsceugh just outside the town. In 1903 the club was reformed on its present location on the Brackenber Moor. The Open Champion Willie Fernie of Troon laid out the course using the natural contours of the moor with short heathery rough and bracken to provide a challenging and spectacular course described as "Gleneagles in the raw". His creation is undeniably testing, as the 5998-yard par 68 (SSS 70) course contains no par 5's but some long challenging par 4's.
Appleby Golf Club is renowned for offering the best, all year round, greens in Cumbria and the friendliness of the welcome to all.
England Golf Central says "Appleby is a well drained moorland course which provides links like conditions and is well known for a wide variety of holes and several testing par 4s with outstanding views of the Pennines, Howgills and Lake District mountains". Described as "a hidden gem and excellent value".
?
Gary Wolstenholme, most capped player in amateur golf, says "Appleby is one of his favourite courses with excellent views of the Lakeland hills, some great holes and fabulous turf. Well worth the drive there."

Reviewed Nov 3 2018 by Phil J - rated 5 out of 5 Super understated golf course
From the start, an excellent day. Ample parking, very friendly, helpful welcome in club house.Lovely course. Superb views, very well maintained fairways and greens on a common. A little width on the fairways was helpful to a first time visitor. However the course remained a very fair test. The Bell Hole was a swine!! Thank you Appleby for a super round of golf.

Reviewed Jul 22 2018 by Warrington - rated 4 out of 5 The only time i can recall playing golf and looking around not knowing if i was actually on a golf course. The course is so closely integrated into the environment. It has sheep wandering around everywhere aside form the fenced off greens, horses and ponies. It really is spectacular with some truly memorable holes. Hidden greens nestled besides sandstone cliffs and a meandering river. Glorious views over Cumbrian mountains and fells, simply breathtaking. Golf is pretty good too!

Reviewed Sep 4 2017 by Grange over sands - rated 3 out of 5 Great course rude staff
Me and my brother drove from grange over sands to play a round of golf(1 1/2 hrs) on arrival we were told by the professional in the shop that we were late and holding up the course. There were 2 lady golfers who said the were happy for us to play through. As I went back in to get 2 score cards he said in a sharp voice "what are you doing hurry up". Never have I been told off for being late for golf. It's not like we were late 3 minutes to be precise. The golf course is a great course and a very good set up. Would return and play. It after the rude gentleman i won't be rushing.Course (layout/challlenge)

Appleby is a quirky course and it may be quite confusing as to why there are electric fences around the greens, but don't let that put you off. The course offers a fantastic challenge, as well as some of the best greens in the county. The par 3 15th is definitely one to look out for. You definitely won't have played a par 3 like it before. Finally, the food is absolutely outstanding and offers the best Full English breakfast in Cumbria and if not England.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed Apr 25 2016 by Peter H - rated 5 out of 5 Fantastic golf course in fantastic surroundings. The course is always in tip top condition. We paid £34 per head for a Saturday day ticket, (for 9 players). Excellent value. The signature 'bell hole' par 3, 15th hole is one of my favourite holes of all the courses I've played, a 156 yard pitch over the stream and the out of bounds to a long horizontal, unseen green nestled in the dip below. Delightful. But that's just one of the many highlights here. The members and staff are always friendly and welcoming and my all day breakfast in the clubhouse was scrumptious. Nothing to criticize here, a really brilliant and enjoyable day out.
