Silloth or Slaley Hall

[TheChamp]

Going to be in the north of england fairly soon and thinking of a game of golf with the old man. I see these two are the most high profile courses in the area... anyone any thoughts as to which one would be best?

Silloth is so much better than either Slaley course that it is hard to quantify the difference.

 

[Dodger]

Silloth is better than both Slaley tracks.

You should make the 2nd best links course in the North of England your choice.

Shout Dodger and get over to Goswick.

Silloth easily and much cheaper. Try Carlisle as an alternative

 

[TheChamp]

The Silloth website says £50 for a round. Is that the going rate or any tee times websites good for getting it a bit cheaper? Would probably be happy to pay £50 though we'll be looking to play it on a Monday or Tues.

Slaley Hall can be had for about £30 on a Monday or Tuesday.

Played 14 at Slowly hall in 3.5 hours which were good, but due to them loading the course with slow corporate 4 balls, I would head over to Siloth, going on all I've heard. Had to go early as we had a lift booked.

the hunting course at slaley is awsome.
but give them both a miss and play seaton carew, you wont regret it.

Have a look at Brampton too. It's about 6 miles east of Carlisle. It's a lovely undulating parkland layout.

Played Silloth about a dozen times and can highly recommend it.

Had one of my best ever rounds there which always influences your decision as to whether you like a course. I stood on the 18th tee one under par gross and then had a double bogey. Ahhhhh!

As the poster above says Brampton is also well worth a visit. It's a beautiful fell land course with some fantastic views.

Played Seaton in March - great course, love the wind up there

Playing Slayley in 3 weeks so I'll give a comparison

Just had my Captain's trip to Slayley Hall. Great for a trip but for pure golf I'd go for Silloth every time, one of the best links courses anywhere. Another vote for Carlisle too, a fantastic parkland course.

 

[bozza]

Ain't played either but I'd give seaton Carew a visit as it's a quality links course. Also you have Rockliffe hall abit further south which is worth a visit.

TOTALLY agree. Silloth is an absolute gem of a course, soooooooooooo much better than Slaley. Played both, Silloth everytime for me.

Im playing Seaton this weekend, forecast at the minute says only 9mph wind - for some reason though by the weekend I bet it's more like 30mph . Is a quality course though, im looking forward to it, especially if my fli hi 2 iron from jammydodger arrives in time
