Furness Golf Club is located on Walney Island, which forms part of the historic town of Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria. The island is separated from the mainland by the Walney Channel, which is spanned by the Jubilee Bridge. There is evidence dating back to 10,000 BC of late-neolithic inhabitants amongst the island's sand dunes. Later in its history, the island was inhabited by Norse settlers (Vikings).
