Silverdale club makes its Mark with national award success
The 18 hole course on the county’s northerly border with Cumbria has achieved the GolfMark award from England Golf.
The club has worked hard to put itself at the heart of the local community, opening up its facilities to local clubs and organisations as well as taking golf out into the surrounding area, and is only the second in Lancashire to achieve the current GolfMark award.
