Keswick Golf Club
Keswick Golf Club is an 18-hole parkland course at Threlkeld, four miles east of Keswick, that accepts visitors seven days a week. The par-71 course rolls through the valley below the North Lakeland fells, with views of Skiddaw and Blencathra from almost every hole.
The course and its character
Keswick plays over 6,225 yards and is par 71, set in open Lake District countryside at Threlkeld Hall. It is not overly long, but it is a fair test that rolls through the Lake District countryside, buggies can be hired, and the views of the North Lakeland fells, including Skiddaw and Blencathra, are a big part of the appeal. Near the first tee there is a practice area with a putting green, a 300-yard practice fairway, pitching greens and a warm-up net.
