Golf trip - What a fantastic place to come to! Took 3 hours to get to Seascale (we ended up in Windermere after a wrong turn!), but it was well worth it! The welcome was warm and friendly from both staff and members, and they were very accomodating considering how late we arrived. We played on a clear day, and the views (Sellafield aside) were the best I have seen on any course I've played (and that's a lot!). On to the course, and a piece of advice...BE STRAIGHT! The rough is ROUGH! Also, stay out of fairway bunkers. I hit a 300+yd drive on the second par 5 only to end up in a 'coffin' bunker and could only come out sideways! (they really are hazards these bunkers) Having said that, when you hit good shots you do reap the rewards. The greens were fast and true, and receptive to well struck shots. It helps to know where you are going, there are several 'blind' shots. All in all, a great course and if it was closer I would definately come back more often! Oh, one other thing this course has...VALUE FOR MONEY! Only cost £17.50 to play on 2-for-1, and beforehand the burger we had was so large we couldn't finish it, even though we hadn't eaten all day up to arriving at the club (1.30pm). |
