The greens are recognised by many as the best in the North of England The club enjoys a golfing history dating back to 1894. In 1903 the club moved to its present location on Brackenber Moor, two miles from the picturesque market town of Appleby. The former Open Champion Wille Fernie of Troon laid out the new course using the natural contours of the moor with short heathery rough and bracken to provide a challenging and delightful course described as 'the Sunningdale of the North'. His creation is undeniably testing as the 5,889 yard par 68 contains no par 5's but long challening par 4's. Nobody comes to Appleby Golf Course and finds it easy but everybody comes back to play it again.
