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 pleased to have Mr Norman Forrest as our new Patron. He is the newly elected President of The English Golf Union and he is keen to underline the fact that he is first and foremost ‘a club man’. We look forward to him playing the course in his official capacity.
