History

Few golf courses can boast such a magnificent location as Windermere. Situated in one of the most beautiful parts of England, the club has an unrivalled view of Lake Windermere and the rugged fells that surround it. Established in 1891 as a nine-hole course, Windermere soon blossomed into an 18-hole course, as members flocked to the picturesque site. The historic club has undertaken a comprehensive rebuilding of the greens to USPGA standards, with work to be completed by June 2006. The improvements to a course affectionately known as a "miniature Gleneagles" bring top-level golf to the heart of the Lake District.
