Carus Green Golf Club
Carus Green Golf Club is an 18-hole parkland course on the edge of Kendal, the southern gateway to the Lake District, and non-members are welcome. The rivers Kent, Mint and Sprint wind through the course, and a heated, floodlit driving range makes it a good stop on a wet day.
The course and its character
Carus Green is a par-70 parkland course of about 5,860 yards, with the rivers Kent, Mint and Sprint meandering through the layout and views of the surrounding countryside. The greens are built to PGA standard, and the clubhouse has won awards. It is a gentler, lower-lying alternative to the fellside courses further into the Lake District, and the friendly club welcomes non-members at every level. The rivers bring water into play on several holes, so accuracy matters more than length.
Booking and visitor practicalities
Non-members are welcome, and tee times and open competitions can be booked through the club website. The heated, floodlit 18-bay driving range is open to all, and the Gary Wolstenholme Golf Academy has a GC2 simulator, a putting and chipping suite and a club-fitting centre. There is a club shop, a bar and a restaurant, and buggies and trolleys can be hired. The venue also offers group accommodation in its town houses for golf breaks.
Getting there
The club is on Burneside Road on the northern edge of Kendal, a short drive from the town centre and from junction 37 of the M6. Windermere is about 20 minutes away by car.
