    Silloth is a Ladies British Open course, haven’t played it in a long time, looks in great condition. But don’t be deceived on a windy day, like any links course it has the ability to destroy even the best golfer! Combine a trip to Silloth with a game at Carlisle (ex British Open Regional qualifying Course) and you will get the contrast of a good Parkland course, all in some of the cleanest air in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

      Superb course, top 20 I think in England, drive up from Wigan at least twice a year and just £490 last I looked for a full 7 day membership!! About the best value for money there is!

    Hi golf mates. I've just joined the Golf Mates face book page (Peter Hagerty) and just want to say if you haven't joined the page yet don't hang about and get on board. What a good laugh some of the posts are but what stands out the most for me is that it's a true community of golfers all becoming mates. Well done Liam and to everyone involved with the Golf Mates phenomenon 🏌🏌🏌🏌

    Glad you found this hidden gem Liam. Me and my mates used to play soup and a sandwich 4 balls on the Lancashire coast courses all winter ending in Silloth at the end of April. We always thought it was stunning and when the wind blows a real challenge.

    Pleased to see you make the trip north. Silloth is a beaut! Play it twice on consecutive days, and you'll play two different courses as the wind is brutal up there! I've lived close to Silloth all my life and been lucky enough to be spoiled by what it has to offer. Thanks for putting it all back into a visitors perspective! All the best Liam!

The course is great and on a nice day the view is amazing.

    Great little gem of a course. Here where I live in the U.S. the courses are still mostly brown but the greens and tee areas are still green. The entire course at Silloth is green. Matter of fact, all the courses "across the pond" are green. A little cool but what beauties you have. See you in Orlando

    So glad that you got there at last Liam. Now you need to tick off Southerness and Stranraer. Have played Silloth, Carlisle, Brampton or Powfoot every year for the last 15 yrs. on a little trip. Can't speak highly enough about all of them. Loads of Open comps at Brampton and Powfoot. Give them all a go Golf Mates. You will love them.

    Visited this course 4 years ago as I was just starting to play golf. A client of mine was a member there and I walked as he played from the blue championship tees. I was blown away by it as I'd never seen a course like it. I vowed to revisit to play it myself one day. I can see exactly why you fell in love with it Liam, maybe a Golfmates Autumn trip?? 😉

    Hi Liam. Had my most amazing experience at Silloth GC. Was playing in a local Northern PGA Pro Am as part of the Cumbria Classic event. The Professional I was playing with was a good friend of ours ( will not name him by name ) he was playing some amazing golf at the time and on the day he shot a gross 60 !! Which consisted of 2 Eagles, 8 Birdies & 8 Pars. Have yet to see a better round of golf in all my years of playing. As always a great genuine video from yourself.

    Silloth, great course. Played with a very dear friend in an open there and birdied 16 to win a couple of sleeves of golf balls. Here’s 3 more brilliant course that are a bit out of the way. Macrhanish near Cambeltown, Kintyre. Royal Dornoch north of Inverness. Seaton Carew near Hartlepool. Also just thought of Saunton in Devon. All these course are just too much out of the way to host a big tournament but they have the quality and the challenge!

    I've played Silloth twice all be 10+ years ago, it's an absolutely cracking course. If you get in the heather in can be brutal and the wind can be ferocious( I hit 3 wood 350 yards with a prevailing gale). It's always in great condition and i believe membership is very reasonable for such a quality course, well worth a visit. With regard to the Cleveland clubs i'd seriously consider getting fitted for a set, you hit them so much better than anything else you've used recently.

    Definitely on your way back Liam. By the sound of the iron shots need to get those Clevelands.

    Great video Liam. I’ve played Silloth a few times even though it’s a bit of a drive from Edinburgh. Going back for 2 days in early June.
