Grange-over-Sands Golf Club
Grange-over-Sands Golf Club is a flat 18-hole parkland course on the edge of Morecambe Bay, at the southern gateway to the Lake District, and visitors can book online. Its level ground makes it popular with older golfers and anyone wanting an easier walk, while natural features and tight dog-legs keep it challenging.
The course and its character
The course on Meathop Road is very flat, which sets it apart from the hillier courses further into the Lake District. Natural features and tricky dog-legs mean it still tests golfers of all standards, and the club notes that it is popular with older golfers and those with limited mobility. It is close to Kendal and the southern lakes, so it suits a golf trip that mixes in walking or sightseeing, or a round on a day when the fells are too wet.
Booking and visitor practicalities
Tee times can be booked online at any time, and the booking system shows a full-year calendar that includes open competitions. Tuesday and Thursday mornings and Saturdays are reserved for members' competitions, so avoid those times; visitors who have not booked online may be accommodated at other times. On arrival, register in the golf shop. Buggies are available and should be booked in advance, and electric and push trolleys can be hired. Visitors are asked to follow the club's dress code.
Getting there
The club is on Meathop Road (B5277) at the north-eastern edge of Grange-over-Sands, near the A590, about 15 miles south-west of Kendal and Windermere by road.
