Your Cumbrian Golfer 2020

Welcome to your Cumbrian Golfer 2020 Edition of Your Golfer Magazine

An exciting year ahead

With an exciting year of golf ahead, it will be interesting to see what happens on the fairways in 2020. Can Brookes blast his way to more major titles or will a resurgent Rory reclaim his golfing crown… perhaps Tiger will continue his phenomenal comeback trail?

Or maybe 2020 will be the year another rookie will break through with the same impact as Jordan Spieth had at Augusta in 2014 when he finished runner-up to Bubba Watson in his debut appearance?

With an action-packed calendar of golfing events from the Abu Dhabi HSBC Championship in January to The Player’s Championship at TPC Sawgrass in March, golfers will be keeping up to date with the latest news and results through television and the internet.

In other notable events, the 9th April will see the start of the Masters Championship at Augusta whilst nearer to home, the Irish Open takes place at Lahinch at the end of May. The US Open this year will be played at Winged Foot whilst, the 149th Open Championship will be played at Royal St. George in July.

In a popular move, the British Masters comes to Close House in August 2020.

Whilst looking through the golfing calendar, it is difficult not to mention the Ryder Cup. Following the European team’s resounding victory at Le Golf National in France, the 2020 Ryder Cup will be competed on the Whistling Straights course in Wisconsin with viewers hoping another culminating week’s golf taking us back to the thriller at Medinah back in 2012, when Team Europe last won the Ryder Cup in the States.

It is not only exciting times for the professional game. Club golfers will be working to emulate their heroes on the screen in mid week and weekend competitions up and down the country whilst an emphasis must definitely be placed on junior sections – getting young people in to golf.

Your Golfer Magazine should be your first port of call when organising your next society outing, away day or golfing break with friends.

The forthcoming quarterly issues of the magazine will contain course reviews of some of the most popular golf clubs in the country, as well as profiles of the best and most cost-effective golf courses in Great Britain.

Here’s to an enjoyable year’s golf in 2020!

Bentham Golf Course, Lancaster Bentham is an undulating parkland course that offers fantastic views of the surrounding area.

A diamond of a golf course set in the Yorkshire Dales in the foothills of the Three Peaks, golf at Bentham dates back to 1922.

In 1925 the golf course was founded as a nine hole course and by the early seventies the wooden clubhouse building on the original site was past its best and needed redevelopment - the new clubhouse building was erected in 1975 to meet the needs of the growing golf club membership.

It wasn’t later until the mid-90s, when the nine-hole layout at Bentham Golf Course was extended to encompass eighteen fine golf holes falling in line with the other golf courses in the area.

The club is not owned and managed by the Marshall family who have been at the helm since 2009.

Since this time, the family have made significant investment which has seen many improvements to the clubhouse, teaching facilities and the course itself. Bentham Course now has a bright future ahead of it.

The Bentham course layout is something that has been altered to offer a stern but fair challenge to all levels of golfer.

This coupled with majestic views from the fairways over Ingleborough, Pen-y-Ghent and Whernside as well as the inspiring backdrop of the fells of the Lake District – make Bentham a fantastic location for golf.

In addition to the golf course, developments have also taken place to the club’s buildings. The clubhouse now offers a licensed bar and restaurant facilities meaning that Bentham can provide the perfect start, middle and end to your days golf!

Food is served daily throughout the summer months in the refurbished clubhouse building from the ambient surroundings of the wonderful 1922 Bar & Kitchen. The golf club also caters for visiting parties through a variety or menus catering for all palates and pockets!

Situated along the banks of the River Eden in Carlisle, Cumbria, with beautiful views of the Lake District and Pennine fells, the Eden Golf Club offers a great and varied test over its 18-hole and 9-hole courses.

Opened in 1992, the Eden Championship 18-hole course has matured into an extremely attractive golf course, receiving great praise from visiting golfers for its immaculate condition, beautiful environment and above all its ability to test golfers without being unfair.

The fairways wind their way through the fifty acres of woodland around which the course is designed, although tremendous views of the Pennine and Lakeland fells are still afforded on various parts of the course.

The river Eden is very much a hazard on holes 4 and 5 where a sliced ball is not advised. Water is in play on several other holes, including the short par four 11th, where a good drive might be on the green, but the slightest deviation will lead to a dropped shot.

Overall the course design welcomes the driver, with most fairways open enough to tempt the ambitious.

However, the ever-present threat of timber will catch out the reckless. The opening nine is marginally easier than the back nine, where the testing 14th and 15th can be a challenge to your card, just as your concentration is beginning to wane.

Wildlife are numerous on the course with families of swans nesting on the lakes as well as mallard, moorhens, hares and the occasional roe deer.

The new Hadrian 9-hole course offers a contrast in style to the existing eighteen. The course covers one hundred acres which includes some tremendous specimen trees as well as steep gullies and undulations which are brought into play on several holes.

Whether played on its own, or as part of a 27-hole day, the 3262-yard par 36 new course will greatly add to the appeal of a day out at Eden.

Non-members are welcome, with tee times available both during the week and at weekends, with seasonal day tickets available. A 15-bay driving range is also available from 7.30am until late evening, 7 days a week during peak times. Golf buggy and trolley hire are available to non-members, as are changing room and shower facilities.

Take a moment to relax before or after your game in the comfort of the elegant, lodge-style bar and restaurant offering breakfast, bar snacks, afternoon teas, lunch and dinner.

A Great Test Of Golf At Eden Golf Club

For the more formal occasion or corporate event, the Garden of Eden, within the Club grounds, is an extremely versatile and diverse site. The state-of-the-art marquee provides access to a beautiful water garden and stunning views across the golf course, with the facility to cater for 50 to 500 guests.

Society bookings and corporate golf days are welcomed, and a number of Open Competitions take place throughout the year.

Catholes-Abbott Holme, Sedbergh, Cumbria, LA10 5SS The parkland golf course has been specifically designed and structured to make the most of the undulations in the surrounding landscape.
