About Dunnerholme Golf Club

Dunnerholme Golf Club is a historic links course on the Duddon Estuary at Askam-in-Furness. Founded in 1905, it has one of Cumbria's more unusual layouts: 10 greens with 18 separate tee positions, allowing golfers to play a full 18-hole round while approaching the second nine from different angles. A shorter round is also available. Dunnerholme Rock, the limestone outcrop that gives the club its name, is built into the course and forms a memorable part of the signature par-three sixth hole. From the higher ground there are panoramic views across Duddon Sands towards the Lake District fells, giving the course a strong sense of place even before the wind becomes part of the challenge. Visitors are welcome, but all visitor tee times must be booked and paid for online through the club's BRS booking system.

Green fees, competition restrictions and course conditions change, so use the live booking calendar and course-status information before travelling rather than relying on an old price or timetable. The club notes that visitors should be competent golfers and that every player must have their own clubs and bag. Visitor facilities include changing rooms, a putting green, practice ground, coffee machine and a small refreshments fridge. The clubhouse is normally open from 06:30 to 21:30 between 1 April and 31 October, while staffed office, phone and bar hours are more limited. These clubhouse hours do not guarantee visitor tee-time availability. For accessibility planning, the club's published information says the ground floor has male and female toilets but no designated accessible toilet. Contact the club before travelling if you need a specific adjustment or want to confirm access to a particular part of the clubhouse or course.

The Cumbria Guru verdict

Our local note

A genuinely unusual Cumbria golf course with estuary scenery to match. The 10-green, 18-tee layout gives it real character; book and pay online, then check the live course status before setting off.
