Silloth is a Ladies British Open course, haven’t played it in a long time, looks in great condition. But don’t be deceived on a windy day, like any links course it has the ability to destroy even the best golfer! Combine a trip to Silloth with a game at Carlisle (ex British Open Regional qualifying Course) and you will get the contrast of a good Parkland course, all in some of the cleanest air in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

i live only 15 mins from the course so i know the area well. little anecdote about the church steeple you mentioned liam ---- in the classic film THE DAMBUSTERS when the lancaster bombers were taking off at dusk that is the steeple that is in the background --- nowt to do with golf but a fact is always a fact

Played many time at Silloth , I played at Maryport a few miles down the road ... great golf course ..pleased u enjoyed playing the course Liam .

What a beautiful golf course. I noticed that your swing is looking much better!! Not so forced...more fluid and you are making better contact with the ball. Can't wait to see you get back some of those Fivers from Mr. Barlow!!! 😂😂😂😂😂🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️

Well done Liam great crack again on a fabulously long course for 4 holes. Lol keep it up magic.

Nothing better than finding and playing a new course especially when it links. Not played any golf in the England but thats another one to add to the list.

Went up there for new year. Great place. Forgot the clubs though. Very warm and welcoming folk up there. New Year’s Day karaoke in the pub at 2 pm absolutely rammed. 👍🏼👍🏼

Up early, full day filming, then edited and uploaded before 5:30pm on the same day 💪🏻 your work ethic is 🔥🔥🔥 Liam!!!

stopped the vid at 0.54 Silloth is STUNNING! And the Clubhouse is very friendly and welcoming!!!!!

Fabulous golf course a must for any golfer in the UK.

Liam-SMASHING Course! It will definitely go on the UK/Scotland Bucket List for when I come over from America! Watch UR video and see the difference between UR driver and iron swings; they are clearly different. Iron swing is coming nicely and slightly inside to out as we all want. The driver swing was looping outside to in. GREAT video!! Brian

Glad you found this hidden gem Liam. Me and my mates used to play soup and a sandwich 4 balls on the Lancashire coast courses all winter ending in Silloth at the end of April. We always thought it was stunning and when the wind blows a real challenge.

Par 3 1449 yards longest par 3 in the word lol

Did orville enjoy it

Colin says This must be one of golfs best kept secrets.It looks in great condition for this time of year after all the bad weather.Bet this video will give Elton a laugh as well.

Pleased to see you make the trip north. Silloth is a beaut! Play it twice on consecutive days, and you'll play two different courses as the wind is brutal up there! I've lived close to Silloth all my life and been lucky enough to be spoiled by what it has to offer. Thanks for putting it all back into a visitors perspective! All the best Liam!

Hi golf mates. I've just joined the Golf Mates face book page (Peter Hagerty) and just want to say if you haven't joined the page yet don't hang about and get on board. What a good laugh some of the posts are but what stands out the most for me is that it's a true community of golfers all becoming mates. Well done Liam and to everyone involved with the Golf Mates phenomenon 🏌🏌🏌🏌

It’s down the road for me... welcome to the Costa Del Sol-Way. It was wild wind in Cumbria last week so it’s a good job you came when you did!

So glad that you got there at last Liam. Now you need to tick off Southerness and Stranraer. Have played Silloth, Carlisle, Brampton or Powfoot every year for the last 15 yrs. on a little trip. Can't speak highly enough about all of them. Loads of Open comps at Brampton and Powfoot. Give them all a go Golf Mates. You will love them.

a course that can finish you as a golfer in the first 6 holes ,,,,thats usually the easy bit coming in , the holes where you play out to the estuary can make you cry on the wrong day, its a beast ...

Played it twice. From newcastle. Unbelievable course. One of the best I’ve ever played.

Played this course in the 90s ,cost 12.50 as it was an open 4 ball better ball what a fantastic course ,look at the scenery class ,thank you liam

Had a little trip with some golf mates up there played windermere stayed over in whitehaven then played siloth, 2 great courses played crap and dave Mulvey had the dreaded shanks, great video nice one

Played it in driving rain and wind. Still was a fantastic experience. Great Course. Try Southerness on the other side of the Estuary. A fantastic course that one as well.

Liam, I played Siloth about 18 months ago with 3 mates, absolutely loved it. Played 36 holes and got 40 points in the morning and 41 in the afternoon off 13, best I’ve ever played, absolutely loved the place. Try Southerness across the Solway Firth near Dumfries. Another hidden gem. 20 of us playing there in September 👍

What a great course - I used to live in Greysouthen and played Silloth as often as I could! Try out Maryport and Seascale, both are very fun and challenging. Cockermouth has a nice course as well.

Fabulous course, but do go and play it in the wind...................its brutal. Stayed at the Golf Hotel, and went to the Rafa club (Bar from Star Wars), great night, what a laugh we had.

Aint 1449 yard par 3's brilliant! :-) Sorry, The Fast Show sprung to mind when you were talking about the course. Really enjoying your channel, thanks for all the great content. Stay well golf mates!

I've played Silloth twice all be 10+ years ago, it's an absolutely cracking course. If you get in the heather in can be brutal and the wind can be ferocious( I hit 3 wood 350 yards with a prevailing gale). It's always in great condition and i believe membership is very reasonable for such a quality course, well worth a visit. With regard to the Cleveland clubs i'd seriously consider getting fitted for a set, you hit them so much better than anything else you've used recently.

just a look at the flag pole, and tee, unmistakable Siloth!! got that before you spoke... what a place... the 9th par 3... what a hard hole when its blowing a hoolie...

Great course,played it quite a few times.Right over the water is Southerness another classic which is a ball ache to get to.But both courses are real gems and well worth the affort.

Excellent course pal, played it a few times, looks like you were lucky tho as if it's windy it's nails, couple more gems down the road in Maryport and Workington 👍👍

Great video!! Me and my family have just opened a holiday home behind the golf course so we know how good it is! Gonna share this video on our Facebook xxxx

Silloth, great course. Played with a very dear friend in an open there and birdied 16 to win a couple of sleeves of golf balls. Here’s 3 more brilliant course that are a bit out of the way. Macrhanish near Cambeltown, Kintyre. Royal Dornoch north of Inverness. Seaton Carew near Hartlepool. Also just thought of Saunton in Devon. All these course are just too much out of the way to host a big tournament but they have the quality and the challenge!

I had the pleasure of playing Silloth many years ago as a junior in their Junior Open. Fabulous course. Understand why it’s in the top 100 courses in the UK. ⛳️😃👍🏻

live 20 odd miles away from silloth not played this course yet,will give it a go soon.cheers.

I grew up in silloth and this is where I started learning to play. fantastic course and what I'm sure everyone who has played there would call a hidden gem! Next time you're out that way you should try brampton. it's one of the most undulating courses I've ever seen in the uk

Yessss Liam, played the rotary open there last year. Fantastic course. We’re there again on the 11th July for the pairs open. Get yourself down.

Well done. Weather didn't look too bad. Hope you had a good time. Play on.

Just joined up with golf mates and after watching a lot of your videos I must say they are great. Nice to watch your 3 main characters and the Pro giving great tips. Keep up the great work. Stan.

14:09 4440 yards par 4 Only a North Korean dictator could make a par on that one.. :O)

You could be the next Peter Alliss. A round with barn pot? What a lovely course. Enjoyed walking round the course with you mate.

Our Pro at Bull bay golf club was the pro in Silloth years ago , and we played it last year , just class .

Nothing better than going to a new course and finding a jewel, like Silloth:) Great video.... your back! And like you said, bring on OMP!

Played there on my birthday back in September. Weather forecast said 0mph wind but was still 2 clubs hahaha. Great course and was about £40 if I remember

This is up their with the best, make no mistake it is comparable with any links in England and but for its location could be an open venue. Worked with a member but never got to play it however if my hip don't get pulled out then I will before it's to late.

Looks grand in winter would love to see it in summer well played Liam hitting ball well 👍🍺

Course looks in great condition for England in the winter. Beautiful holes. Much better than where I play. Hit a decent drive and it plugs in the mud on many holes.

Instead of Salmon Rushdie, it could be a "Patrick", he's a bad Reed 😲😉

Siloth!!!!!! is a fantastic course and worth the detour, i totally agree Liam, btw you must, must, must play Cruden Bay, Aberdeenshire, it should be on everyones bucket list...........

Stunning course with fantastic greenkeeper who keeps it in great order👍🏻👍🏻 Credit where credits due Liam😁😁 (Straight as Elton John 🤔🤔🤣🤣)

Glad you came to Silloth, not played it for years but remember it as a cracking course. I will have to go back one day, it's only down the road from me. Course will be greener because Silloth gets the benefit of the Gulf Stream, the town has palm trees growing, in Cumbria lol.

1 minute in and I'm thinking this is what I like, absolute nuts stuff ! Get in the car and drive to the coast, love it ! Silloth is well known Liam. Try Seascale too, its drivable from Bolton and you go over some narrow roads over the tops ! Mind the sheep, better not take Barlow with you ! The course is great and on a nice day the view is amazing.

Liam - for those of us who've not played in the UK, how about a bit more data on the courses? Date and tee time, and an estimate of the weather conditions would be informative. Your destinations should be sponsoring your trips, if they aren't already. Why are there no Golfmates with you in Cambria?

Hi Liam. Had my most amazing experience at Silloth GC. Was playing in a local Northern PGA Pro Am as part of the Cumbria Classic event. The Professional I was playing with was a good friend of ours ( will not name him by name ) he was playing some amazing golf at the time and on the day he shot a gross 60 !! Which consisted of 2 Eagles, 8 Birdies & 8 Pars. Have yet to see a better round of golf in all my years of playing. As always a great genuine video from yourself.

Visited this course 4 years ago as I was just starting to play golf. A client of mine was a member there and I walked as he played from the blue championship tees. I was blown away by it as I'd never seen a course like it. I vowed to revisit to play it myself one day. I can see exactly why you fell in love with it Liam, maybe a Golfmates Autumn trip?? 😉

Beautiful. Liam don't let those irons go. Cheers and thanks Golfmate

Nice course. You ARE hitting better. I think the 3/4 swing is perfect for you on your irons.

It's nice to see you playing better Liam, that was a bloody long par 3 mate🤪😂⛳#golfmates

I played there many times when we had a place in the Lake District. The phrase "the arse end of nowhere" was probably coined to describe the location but...but they talk about Royal Co. Down and Portrush (my homeland) and never mention this place. Peter Allis said "what a course" give it a go if you can you will not regret the effort. I am not saying it can be windy but the locals all carry a 1 iron and can hit the ball 150 yards with it never getting higher than 3 feet off the turf.

I liked the product placement at the beginning.... Lots of Starbucks coming your way! Haha

Silloth must be great. Liam, you were lost for words, which takes some doing. On a point of order. Lancashire is a county, so can be Gods own County Wales is a Country and is GOD’S own COUNTRY!!! Brilliant stuff from Lancashire’s very own Barnpot......Loved it all Keep doing what you do 60k plus #Golfmates love what you are doing for golf

Absolutely one of the most beautiful courses I have seen..it would definitely make you want to play forever...we don't have courses like this in the U.S...I am stunned!!

That's a proper golf course. Link golf ,nothing beats it.

Classic Liam, nice looking course, with some nice looking golf shots, enjoyed the incorrect yardage display for each hole, Elton John and Arthur Scargill puns.....made me smile just as much as you did while filming at this cracking course.

Great little gem of a course. Here where I live in the U.S. the courses are still mostly brown but the greens and tee areas are still green. The entire course at Silloth is green. Matter of fact, all the courses "across the pond" are green. A little cool but what beauties you have. See you in Orlando

Hey Mr, its a great course always mentioned in the golf mags. A treat of a course

Great video Liam. I’ve played Silloth a few times even though it’s a bit of a drive from Edinburgh. Going back for 2 days in early June.

Played Silloth twice as a junior (I'm now 71) got my handicap cut both times. Fantastic course but I was lucky as there was virtually no wind on both occasions.

Absolutely brilliant place

I played it 4 months ago so turned up 5pm I was staying at the hotel on the left as you come in had some tea and walked over this guy had a pencil bag teed up and his sheep dog sat on the tee waiting soon as he hit the ball the dog run 300 yards and sat next to the ball and waited for him to hit it again it was unbelievable watching the dog haha

Ha ha...Liam Harrison cumbria silloth. .full of birds..great stuff

Played here twice last year and I don't think you can play a better value for money course. It's an absolute belter.

I'm glad I've got it booked for May when I come over with Steve Heseltine and @GolfNutts will be joining us out there, now I'm really looking forward to it, and any other #Golfmates that want to join us you are more than welcome. What a fantastic shot on that 1449yd par 3 you must have had your weetabix before you left this morning 😂😂😂

As always great vid Liam looks well nice that course , , think you need to get your full golf set sorted once and for all , then. Concentrate on just improving even more Liam , And keep it up. Nice to see you playing like you did and back up there being a bandit 🤣🏌🏻‍♂️

Just down the road from me . Try Workington , it’s also a very good track 👍

Lovely place and playing better win win 👍👍👍

Great video Liam. Went to silloth about 13 years ago, it was like a ghost town lol. Didn't get to play the course though, wish I had of done now. Might take a trip up in the summer. 👍 Good golfing by the way.

Without doubt one of the best........ Stuck in the 1970s but hey ho😄❤️😄❤️😄❤️

Glad to see you so excited Liam but it was hard to see the holes clearly wirh no trees (links, I get it but depth perception was not there) so it just looked like an average course to me.

Liam I really Think you should Put your hand in your pocket and buy those Irons, You strike them Well!! Chicken & Rice. Nik Bird, Ps Do you know a mate of mine Pro Caddy Brendon Mac Cartain???Still atop Caddy!

Liam I played there about 4 years ago it’s a really good course it was summer time but very windy but a fantastic test of golf and In superb condition, the food in the clubhouse was top notch as well and everyone was so friendly. Well done everyone at the GC. 👍👍

I hope you played the full course Liam...that place is awesome!!! Some stunning views, brilliant holes and what a welcome in the clubhouse. We played it last year, were super fortunate with the weather so I think we saw it at its best. I bet in the wind and rain it would be an absolute bear!

That course looks amazing..wish my back would allow me to play again..aint played for about 10 yrs now..but still love to watch..great video Liam

Good video Liam. I have played it several times over many years. It is a great course and a hidden gem. However my favourite little known course is Goswick in Northumberland. Great scenery, not crowded and a very difficult links course. They let you play off the medal tees as well. Certainly worth a visit

nice video i had the chance to visit Silloth last year but fortunately i never got the chance to play Silloth it looks like a very well kept course greens look fast . You looked like you had a great day.

It's a strange little place, but the course is spectacular. One of the best hidden gems in the UK.

Glad you found it Liam,played it twice absolutely loved it,couple of blind tee shots out there as well look forward to part 2

I learnt to play here as a kid and never realised I was learning at one of the top 100 courses in the UK!! Its brilliant, friendly, inexpensive... mo clue why you played those holes though, they are a long wat from the best on the course!

Course looked fantastic, your golf game is coming together now wish I could say the same about mine , you should have played Gullane No1 when you were in East Lothian. ⛳️👍

Played Silloth a few years ago in the summer,it was blowing a hooley .Fantastic course,one of the best I’ve played.

Amazing course, it’s in the top 50 course in the UK. Played here last year, 1 day, 2 rounds of golf, breakfast, lunch and dinner.. 80quid. What a bargain!

An Arthur Scargill "a great strike' absolutely love it. Good course its on my list

Great video, great course even great golf !!! Positive mind = good golf. Deffo on the list to play. Looking forward to the afternoons golf

Looks great, will have to travel up and try that one out. If I'd have known you were going up that way I'd have suggested you call in Thornhill Golf Club which is reasonably close on the A76 in Dumfries and Galloway. I stumbled upon it years back and it's also a little gem. Just pop Thornhill Golf Course Dumfries in google images and see what it brings up !

Cracking track! Played last summer it was sunny all day- superb!

Hi Liam , I have played silloth a few times you did well to catch it on a calm day. You should play it when it's really blowing , I assure you that you won't play to your handicap. But you will have a lot of fun, quality course up there with the best

Played it lots as I live in Cumbria. Unreal course👍🏼
