Barrow Golf Club

Barrow Golf Club has been in continuous existence since 1921, its eighteen holes laid out to a par of 71 over 6,200 yards on the Furness Peninsula in south-west Cumbria. Barrow-in-Furness grew rapidly in the nineteenth century around iron and steel, and later shipbuilding, and remains best known today as the home of BAE Systems' submarine yard on the Walney Channel. The town occupies a peninsula bounded by Morecambe Bay to the south and the Irish Sea to the west, with Walney Island forming a natural breakwater just offshore, and the surrounding Furness countryside mixes low farmland with views across to the Lake District fells inland. A course founded in the early 1920s has had a century to establish itself within this industrial-turned-coastal landscape, one shaped as much by Barrow's maritime history as by the more conventionally scenic Lakeland hills that rise a short distance to the north and east.

Barrow Golf Club plays over 18 holes, a par of 71, and a length of 6,200 yards. The club dates back to 1921, giving it roughly 105 years of history in Cumbria.
