Kirby Lonsdale, Penrith just up the road, Ulverston or travel a bit further and go to Silloth on Solway.

Silloth is easily the best but prices have increased to £65, still good value.
Whilst bias Ulverston is in very good condition at present with greens first class. Sedburgh 9 holes x2. Windermere, great views, tight, with fairways criss crossing. Kirkby Lonsdale very good, pleasant market town. Carus Green, new modern clubhouse, flattish. avoid Kendal.
Lancaster is well worth a visit, class, Heysham quite long and flat. if you are “ coming down” Carlisle is an excellent track. Some are not taking visitors at present.

Appleby is great, really enjoyed it years ago and keen to go back

Silverdale is a nice course

I’m always amused by the electric fences around the greens to keep the sheep off ??

Appleby is great but wholly weather dependant.
I'm sure that I read somewhere that they expect summer to be on the 16th July this year, but of course you can't really rely on forecasts.........it might not happen at all.

All golf courses in the UK are weather dependant. Just more of a challenge with a bit of wind and/or rain (and with the right kit on!)

Silloth should be a priority. Windermere is a nice course - no bunkers, Kendal and Kirkby Lonsdale also worth playing. Have also played Barrow and Ulverston when staying in Kendal.

It all depends how much you do or don’t want to travel I’d say! 100% Silloth, unrivalled, but I’m biased.. it’s also a long drive from Kendal. Penrith is well worth a visit, again I’m biased but it is also a drive away. Lancaster is also well worth a visit, but again a drive away, Appleby the same. To keep it more local to Kendal I’ve played and would recommend: Kirkby Lonsdale, Silverdale, Carus Green and Windermere (the greens are awesome)

Appleby is only 45 mins from Kendal, and the drive is lovely, especially if you go through the Howgill Fells - either by motorway or back road. It’s a cracking course, very natural, undiscovered and unspoilt! So if you’re in that part of the world, it’s a must.
As for Silloth, it’s only 1h 20 from Kendal, and it’s honestly one of the best value courses around. That £65 gets you an entire day - you can play three times if you like! It’ll only be more expensive in future. Plus the gorse is in bloom right now, and it looks lovely!
As for Windermere, it’s also brilliant and strongly recommended, so I echo others in saying do it! Add your local moorland course Kendal and that’s a cracking golf trip.
Lastly, Furness GC is a decent links and is only 50 mins away, as is the fun 10-holer (yes, indeed!) links of Dunnerholme. I’d add Seascale too, but that’s a bit further at 1h 20.

Seascale not too good at the moment if you don't like snakes. Appears the adder population has enjoyed locked and they are everywhere.
Work colleague who is a member says he has seen them in areas of the course where he has not seen them before and they are common on the fairways at present.

I really liked the variety and layout of Kirby Lonsdale. Saw deer running across the fairways. Must get back there, on my replay list.
Kendal is differently interesting and great views.
Seascale again some different holes, links, very friendly and well worth playing.
Silloth a links, friendly, a must play if you like links and in the area.
