Penrith Golf Club
Located high above the lovely town of Penrith, this moorland course offers a worthy challenge to any visiting golfer. A clear day will have the added advantage of providing some of the finest views of the mountains of the Northern Lake District.
At Penrith Golf Club we have excellent Practice Facilities including a 6 Bay driving range, a Golf Academy area including a 3 hole practice course, a putting green and a chipping green.
These facilities are open all year round, apart from deep snow conditions. So come and practice your swing and join us in the clubhouse for refreshments.
The History
The course was formed on 13th May, 1890 on the site of a former racecourse.
Nine holes were laid out around the oval racecourse traces of which can still be seen on the 13th, 15th, 17th and 18th fairways.
The Clubhouse in 1913
The 18 hole course was officially opened on 24th April, 1913 but in 1918 the club was suspended during the war with a large part of the course being ploughed up for food production. Reinstatement and improvement of the course started in 1922 together with the addition of a new clubhouse in 1936.
A new lounge, kitchen and men's locker room were built in 1966 with further improvements to the clubhouse and course made in the 1970's.
The most recent major refurbishment of the clubhouse and changing rooms was undertaken in time for the Millennium year.
