Silverdale Golf Club’s 18 hole course is set in a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and also one of a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). It has wonderful views across the RSPB Nature Reserve to Morecambe Bay and to the Lakeland and Howgill Fells.
The course is a Par 70 – 5592 yards and is of two halves, open parkland and tight narrow valleys with heath land and limestone pavement. From each hole there are delightful views, abundant flora and birdlife. The early morning golfer may be joined by roe and fallow deer. It is home to the rare Ladies Slipper orchid. It is an exciting course and one in which boredom never sets in. As the course is on limestone the drainage is good so we rarely close in poor weather.
We are proud to have as our patron, Gary Wolstenholme MBE the English number one Amateur golfer, with 200 England caps and captain of the Walker Cup team. Gary began his golfing life at Silverdale Golf Club in 1978 and we are always pleased to have him join us for a round of golf whenever his busy schedule allows.
