Workington Golf Club was established in 1893 the club boasts a James Braid designed 18 hole course that is situated on the Western coastal fringe of the Lake District. The course is an undulating course punctuated by the deeply incised valley of a small beck. So, while there are not many "hanging lies" there are some steep contours to be negotiated when the beck is crossed at holes 4,6,7,10,11 and 13. This makes for some challenging golf with the greens at the 7th and 13th being daunting targets.
