of which offer stunning views across lakeland coutryside.
The closest golf course to the Inn on the Lake is Keswick

Common and offers scenic, panoramic views of Blencathra, one
of England's highest mountains.

standard and during 2004 it was voted 24th place in Golf Monthly's
review of Britain and Irelands top courses, just in front
of Royal Troon Golf Club (25th place). They comment that "Carding
a good score is a true test of nerve and industry on this
intriguing layout".

Scafell Pike and the neighbouring fells visable from every
fairway. Their signature hole is the 151 yard Par 3 14th.
