Andy Levett has found the website for Seascale. The pictures are well worth exploring, hence my making this separate post. Real vintage seaside architecture.

Thanks for posting this website. I played a competition at Seascale several years ago in a driving rainstorm. It was enjoyable and easy to appreciate the fine linksland even in horrid playing conditions. When the course extend right up to the huge barbed wired topped fences surrounding the nuclear power plant it was a bit weird being in two different worlds at the same time. I think Seascale is worth a visit and is similar in quality to Silloth.

Geoffrey,

The two holes out-and-back to the centre of the reactors may be long, but they are so totally out of character with the rest that there's every reason to slip over from the 10th green to the 13th tee (provided you are not pushing in front of someone) to play the course entirely as a links. What was there before the nuclear age, I wonder (they hadn't discovered nuclear fission in 1893)?

Great photos. I'd love to see also photos of 9th (tumbling downhill over beck), 15th (devilish short par 4 to wicked green), and 16th (par 4 that is more par 6 1/2) with deviously located green on far side of raised ground with monumental bunker low to the front and right.

It really is vintage links fun!
