SILLOTH GOLF CLUB - CUMBRIA

[@markbrown5351]

Silloth is a Ladies British Open course, haven’t played it in a long time, looks in great condition. But don’t be deceived on a windy day, like any links course it has the ability to destroy even the best golfer! Combine a trip to Silloth with a game at Carlisle (ex British Open Regional qualifying Course) and you will get the contrast of a good Parkland course, all in some of the cleanest air in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

[@michaelreilly3546]

Par 3 1449 yards longest par 3 in the word lol

[@CKW10001]

Some shot to play it with a 9 Iron. Cleveland golf said it was a distance iron. Who knew by that much. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@brianharris22]

Superb course, top 20 I think in England, drive up from Wigan at least twice a year and just £490 last I looked for a full 7 day membership!! About the best value for money there is!

[@TheWok1336]

then later we get a Par 4 4440 yards. :) epic course

[@jaffatanski]

Was down wind mind

[@waxingchandler3895]

and that's why Liam only played 4 holes. =)

[@banditbaker1675]

stopped the vid at 0.54 Silloth is STUNNING! And the Clubhouse is very friendly and welcoming!!!!!

[@anthonyhayes2977]

Glad you found this hidden gem Liam. Me and my mates used to play soup and a sandwich 4 balls on the Lancashire coast courses all winter ending in Silloth at the end of April. We always thought it was stunning and when the wind blows a real challenge.

[@mjsgolf7004]

1 minute in and I'm thinking this is what I like, absolute nuts stuff ! Get in the car and drive to the coast, love it ! Silloth is well known Liam. Try Seascale too, its drivable from Bolton and you go over some narrow roads over the tops ! Mind the sheep, better not take Barlow with you ! The course is great and on a nice day the view is amazing.

[@bazzaclarky7445]

Pleased to see you make the trip north. Silloth is a beaut! Play it twice on consecutive days, and you'll play two different courses as the wind is brutal up there! I've lived close to Silloth all my life and been lucky enough to be spoiled by what it has to offer. Thanks for putting it all back into a visitors perspective! All the best Liam!

[@richardmarkcourty2134]

Played many time at Silloth , I played at Maryport a few miles down the road ... great golf course ..pleased u enjoyed playing the course Liam .

[@pedrofski]

Hi golf mates. I've just joined the Golf Mates face book page (Peter Hagerty) and just want to say if you haven't joined the page yet don't hang about and get on board. What a good laugh some of the posts are but what stands out the most for me is that it's a true community of golfers all becoming mates. Well done Liam and to everyone involved with the Golf Mates phenomenon 🏌🏌🏌🏌

[@rabstunes]

Nothing better than finding and playing a new course especially when it links. Not played any golf in the England but thats another one to add to the list.

[@keithharris6442]

Played it 2 years ago, fell in love with it. The drone footage is brilliant, loved every hole. Nice clubhouse with old world charm. Golf hotel did a nice meal too. Cheers Liam for posting

That was some nice scenery. Take it easy don't exhaust yourself. No pint for you today. Cheers

What a beautiful golf course. I noticed that your swing is looking much better!! Not so forced...more fluid and you are making better contact with the ball. Can't wait to see you get back some of those Fivers from Mr. Barlow!!! 😂😂😂😂😂🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️

14:09 4440 yards par 4 Only a North Korean dictator could make a par on that one.. :O)

[@williammounsey]

i live only 15 mins from the course so i know the area well. little anecdote about the church steeple you mentioned liam ---- in the classic film THE DAMBUSTERS when the lancaster bombers were taking off at dusk that is the steeple that is in the background --- nowt to do with golf but a fact is always a fact

[@jsmecky4257]

Went up there for new year. Great place. Forgot the clubs though. Very warm and welcoming folk up there. New Year’s Day karaoke in the pub at 2 pm absolutely rammed. 👍🏼👍🏼

[@simongaunt2792]

So glad that you got there at last Liam. Now you need to tick off Southerness and Stranraer. Have played Silloth, Carlisle, Brampton or Powfoot every year for the last 15 yrs. on a little trip. Can't speak highly enough about all of them. Loads of Open comps at Brampton and Powfoot. Give them all a go Golf Mates. You will love them.

[@andrewherriot1475]

Well done Liam great crack again on a fabulously long course for 4 holes. Lol keep it up magic.

[@baysideangler9709]

Liam-SMASHING Course! It will definitely go on the UK/Scotland Bucket List for when I come over from America! Watch UR video and see the difference between UR driver and iron swings; they are clearly different. Iron swing is coming nicely and slightly inside to out as we all want. The driver swing was looping outside to in. GREAT video!! Brian

[@robmac9733]

Played it in driving rain and wind. Still was a fantastic experience. Great Course. Try Southerness on the other side of the Estuary. A fantastic course that one as well.

[@golf_is_a_happy_place9990]

just a look at the flag pole, and tee, unmistakable Siloth!! got that before you spoke... what a place... the 9th par 3... what a hard hole when its blowing a hoolie...

[@ianlamont825]

Nothing better than going to a new course and finding a jewel, like Silloth:) Great video.... your back! And like you said, bring on OMP!

[@markwilson5877]

Played it twice. From newcastle. Unbelievable course. One of the best I’ve ever played.

[@mrkipling3841]

You could be the next Peter Alliss. A round with barn pot? What a lovely course. Enjoyed walking round the course with you mate.

[@markpreston6345]

Looks beautiful... May have to have a trip when it warms up a bit 👍👍

[@leearmstrong1346]

I grew up in silloth and this is where I started learning to play. fantastic course and what I'm sure everyone who has played there would call a hidden gem! Next time you're out that way you should try brampton. it's one of the most undulating courses I've ever seen in the uk

[@richardcreed3700]

What a great course - I used to live in Greysouthen and played Silloth as often as I could! Try out Maryport and Seascale, both are very fun and challenging. Cockermouth has a nice course as well.

[@phildiegidio4658]

Well done. Weather didn't look too bad. Hope you had a good time. Play on.

[@malcolmstanford4403]

Just joined up with golf mates and after watching a lot of your videos I must say they are great. Nice to watch your 3 main characters and the Pro giving great tips. Keep up the great work. Stan.

[@SWMabroad]

Classic Liam, nice looking course, with some nice looking golf shots, enjoyed the incorrect yardage display for each hole, Elton John and Arthur Scargill puns.....made me smile just as much as you did while filming at this cracking course.

[@duncanstephenson553]

Great course,played it quite a few times.Right over the water is Southerness another classic which is a ball ache to get to.But both courses are real gems and well worth the affort.

[@oldtimer5111]

Glad you came to Silloth, not played it for years but remember it as a cracking course. I will have to go back one day, it's only down the road from me. Course will be greener because Silloth gets the benefit of the Gulf Stream, the town has palm trees growing, in Cumbria lol.

[@garyleahy4537]

Great little gem of a course. Here where I live in the U.S. the courses are still mostly brown but the greens and tee areas are still green. The entire course at Silloth is green. Matter of fact, all the courses "across the pond" are green. A little cool but what beauties you have. See you in Orlando

[@toddstuart4588]

It’s down the road for me... welcome to the Costa Del Sol-Way. It was wild wind in Cumbria last week so it’s a good job you came when you did!

[@AdrianPG63]

I liked the product placement at the beginning.... Lots of Starbucks coming your way! Haha

[@philipbennett1039]

Fabulous course, but do go and play it in the wind...................its brutal. Stayed at the Golf Hotel, and went to the Rafa club (Bar from Star Wars), great night, what a laugh we had.

[@GarethJB]

Yessss Liam, played the rotary open there last year. Fantastic course. We’re there again on the 11th July for the pairs open. Get yourself down.

[@Triumphadventures]

Had a little trip with some golf mates up there played windermere stayed over in whitehaven then played siloth, 2 great courses played crap and dave Mulvey had the dreaded shanks, great video nice one

[@janetmiller6529]

Colin says This must be one of golfs best kept secrets.It looks in great condition for this time of year after all the bad weather.Bet this video will give Elton a laugh as well.

[@DavidS19551]

Absolutely one of the most beautiful courses I have seen..it would definitely make you want to play forever...we don't have courses like this in the U.S...I am stunned!!

[@cycling.cyclingchannel.5682]

Great Video Liam.Smashed it.

[@ackers43]

Excellent course pal, played it a few times, looks like you were lucky tho as if it's windy it's nails, couple more gems down the road in Maryport and Workington 👍👍

[@allanmerrill9427]

Hi Liam. Had my most amazing experience at Silloth GC. Was playing in a local Northern PGA Pro Am as part of the Cumbria Classic event. The Professional I was playing with was a good friend of ours ( will not name him by name ) he was playing some amazing golf at the time and on the day he shot a gross 60 !! Which consisted of 2 Eagles, 8 Birdies & 8 Pars. Have yet to see a better round of golf in all my years of playing. As always a great genuine video from yourself.

[@BambooBob]

Nice course. You ARE hitting better. I think the 3/4 swing is perfect for you on your irons.

[@colinbland3716]

Course looks in great condition for England in the winter. Beautiful holes. Much better than where I play. Hit a decent drive and it plugs in the mud on many holes.

[@GlamourStar0x]

Great video!! Me and my family have just opened a holiday home behind the golf course so we know how good it is! Gonna share this video on our Facebook xxxx

[@davidwalters313]

Good video Liam. I have played it several times over many years. It is a great course and a hidden gem. However my favourite little known course is Goswick in Northumberland. Great scenery, not crowded and a very difficult links course. They let you play off the medal tees as well. Certainly worth a visit

[@ruatoomey9107]

That’s where Hitchcock did the movie, town full of birds. As straight as Elton John? Brilliant , sounded like Paul Whitehouse. You really are Barmy , but you’re living my dream. Good for you.

Liam, I played Siloth about 18 months ago with 3 mates, absolutely loved it. Played 36 holes and got 40 points in the morning and 41 in the afternoon off 13, best I’ve ever played, absolutely loved the place. Try Southerness across the Solway Firth near Dumfries. Another hidden gem. 20 of us playing there in September 👍

Glad you found it Liam,played it twice absolutely loved it,couple of blind tee shots out there as well look forward to part 2

[@DavidBrown-rm6nz]

Silloth, great course. Played with a very dear friend in an open there and birdied 16 to win a couple of sleeves of golf balls. Here’s 3 more brilliant course that are a bit out of the way. Macrhanish near Cambeltown, Kintyre. Royal Dornoch north of Inverness. Seaton Carew near Hartlepool. Also just thought of Saunton in Devon. All these course are just too much out of the way to host a big tournament but they have the quality and the challenge!

[@stuartjames1971]

I had the pleasure of playing Silloth many years ago as a junior in their Junior Open. Fabulous course. Understand why it’s in the top 100 courses in the UK. ⛳️😃👍🏻

[@147beany]

Hi Liam , I have played silloth a few times you did well to catch it on a calm day. You should play it when it's really blowing , I assure you that you won't play to your handicap. But you will have a lot of fun, quality course up there with the best

[@tonygibson2570]

Another hidden gem found. Well done Liam . Keep them coming. 👍

Played this course in the 90s ,cost 12.50 as it was an open 4 ball better ball what a fantastic course ,look at the scenery class ,thank you liam

[@englandsdreamin100]

a course that can finish you as a golfer in the first 6 holes ,,,,thats usually the easy bit coming in , the holes where you play out to the estuary can make you cry on the wrong day, its a beast ...

[@jonathanbirkby]

Class course! Played it last may on my wedding week. twinned with Carlisle which is great too!

It's a strange little place, but the course is spectacular. One of the best hidden gems in the UK.

Lovely place and playing better win win 👍👍👍

[@robmccoll1160]

I've played Silloth twice all be 10+ years ago, it's an absolutely cracking course. If you get in the heather in can be brutal and the wind can be ferocious( I hit 3 wood 350 yards with a prevailing gale). It's always in great condition and i believe membership is very reasonable for such a quality course, well worth a visit. With regard to the Cleveland clubs i'd seriously consider getting fitted for a set, you hit them so much better than anything else you've used recently.

[@robmccoll1160]

This is up their with the best, make no mistake it is comparable with any links in England and but for its location could be an open venue. Worked with a member but never got to play it however if my hip don't get pulled out then I will before it's to late.

You might want to keep those irons. Looks like a beautiful course, well done on the 4 holes.

Visited this course 4 years ago as I was just starting to play golf. A client of mine was a member there and I walked as he played from the blue championship tees. I was blown away by it as I'd never seen a course like it. I vowed to revisit to play it myself one day. I can see exactly why you fell in love with it Liam, maybe a Golfmates Autumn trip?? 😉
