Carlisle Golf Club

Carlisle Golf Club was founded in 1908, in the Cumbrian city that sits at the western end of Hadrian's Wall, close to the Scottish border and the point where the rivers Eden, Caldew and Petteril converge. The club's postcode, CA4, places it on the northern edge of Carlisle, in the Eden Valley countryside that separates the city from the Solway Firth coast. Carlisle grew as a border stronghold and a railway junction, and the surrounding landscape still carries that mixed character: red sandstone villages, low farmland and the broad, slow-moving Eden on its way to the Solway. The club has been part of the city's sporting life for well over a century, predating both world wars and the modern road network that now links Carlisle to the M6 and the A69. Golfers based here have the Lake District fells to the south and the Southern Uplands of Scotland visible to the north.
