Courses

Frequently Asked Questions

What golf courses will I find in Cumberland?

You're looking at a truly unique corner of England, and here's the honest truth - Cumberland isn't a golf destination. You won't find any traditional courses here; the landscape is truly wild and preserved for its stunning natural beauty and incredible outdoor adventures.

If there are no golf courses, what makes Cumberland worth visiting for a golfer?

While you won't be swinging clubs here, Cumberland offers an incredible escape for the soul. Think dramatic fells, serene lakes, and some of the best hiking in the UK - it's the perfect place to recharge between rounds played elsewhere. We often combine a Cumberland nature break with a golf trip to nearby Lancashire or Northumberland.

When is the best time to visit Cumberland for its non-golf attractions?

We recommend late spring through early autumn (May to September) for the best weather to explore Cumberland's stunning landscapes. You'll find longer daylight hours and more accessible hiking trails, though the autumn colours are truly spectacular if you don't mind cooler temperatures. Just pack layers - the weather can change quickly.

What kind of experience should I expect when visiting Cumberland?

Expect rugged natural beauty, charming villages, and a focus on outdoor adventure rather than luxury resorts. You'll find cozy B&Bs, traditional pubs serving hearty meals, and endless opportunities for walking, cycling, or simply soaking in the views. It's a place to disconnect and embrace the wild.

Are there any hidden gems or specific highlights in Cumberland we shouldn't miss?

Absolutely! While not golf-related, we always point people towards the dramatic Honister Pass for breathtaking drives and hikes, or a boat trip on Ullswater for unparalleled lake views. Don't skip a visit to a traditional Cumbrian market town like Keswick or Ambleside for local crafts and a proper pub lunch.
