Kendal Golf Club

Kendal Golf Club plays over eighteen holes on high ground above Kendal, the limestone market town on the River Kent that serves as a southern gateway to the Lake District National Park. Kendal grew historically on the wool trade and later became known nationally for Kendal Mint Cake, and its old town of narrow yards and grey stone buildings still sits below the fells rising immediately to the west and north. The club's position above the town places it on the fringe of the Lakeland landscape, where the flatter Kent valley gives way to the steeper, open fellside that draws walkers and climbers to the National Park proper. Golf here sits alongside Kendal's role as a base for exploring Cumbria more widely, within reach of Windermere and the southern lakes as well as the Yorkshire Dales to the east, a crossing point between two of England's most visited upland landscapes.
