Situated on the Cumbrian coastline and overlooking the Irish Sea and the Isle of Man, Seascale Golf Club is a vintage links course.
On clear days, golfers will enjoy views to the Isle of Man and across to Scotland, but don’t let that distract you from the task at hand – one that incorporates some very challenging holes.
Willie Campbell, George Lowe and Harry Colt have all had a hand in the design at Seascale, which sits next to Sellafield Power Station.
History
1893 saw the founding of Seascale Golf Club, with Willie Campbell – a six-time top five finisher at the Open Championship – designing the original 9-hole layout.
Six years later, just before the turn of the century, George Lowe added another nine to make it into an 18-hole layout. In the 1930s, the great Harry Colt came to Seascale, making alterations to the design.
The club has hosted several big amateur competitions, including the 2012 English Amateur Championship, along with Silloth on Solway.
What makes Seascale Golf Club special?
Though the majority will associate Seascale Golf Club with the neighbouring Sellafield Power Station, it is a course that is much more than that…
Many more holes offer terraced views down to the coastal railway line and sea beyond. The links is packed with entertaining and distinctive holes from the 3rd onwards.

Where is Seascale Golf Club?
Seascale Golf Club is situated on the northwestern coastline of England, in the county of Cumbria. The course is located along the coast, with Seascale Beach running alongside several holes. The course overlooks the Irish Sea, with the Isle of Man in the far distance looking west from the layout. Redhall Nuclear Power Station is to the north of the course, with the A595 – which runs from Carlisle to Dalton-in-Furness – just a few miles inland from Seascale. Newcastle International Airport, Liverpool John Lennon Airport and Manchester Airport are all over 100 miles from Seascale Golf Club, but they are the three nearest international airports to the golf club, with Manchester being the busiest airport in the United Kingdom outside of the London.
