About Windermere Golf Club

Windermere Golf Club sits at Cleabarrow above Bowness-on-Windermere in a striking Lake District setting. Established in 1891, the course combines a long golfing history with views over the surrounding countryside and fells. It is not an overly long course by modern standards, but the terrain, positioning and character provide a varied challenge rather than relying simply on distance.

Visitors can book tee times and the clubhouse provides food and drink, making this a practical option for golfers staying around Windermere and Bowness. Green fees, visitor availability, competitions and course conditions vary through the year, so check the club’s live booking system before travelling. The club has also received national recognition for the enjoyment and character of the course, adding to its profile as a Lake District golfing destination.
