Morcambe Golf Club is a short course by modern day standards however just because a course is short does not mean it is easy. The fairways on this layout are generous off the tee but with small greens the approach shots are the real defense of this course, the greens are also protected by numerous greenside bunkers, which can swallow your ball if you our found to be even slightly offline. Some fairways are guarded with tree’s either side, which can hinder approach shots into the greens if wayward off the tee. There is a small river that meanders its way through the course providing protection on many greens and can be seen running through a number of fairways.
