Royal Birkdale The stretch of coastline from Southport to Formby is home to some of the best links golf in Britain.
Nestling amid spectacular
sand dunes, the world-famous Royal Birkdale links, has staged eight Open
Championships. Other championships include the Ryder Cup, Walker Cup and
the Curtis Cup. Amongst legends of golf that have won here are Peter Thompson,
Arnold Palmer, Lee Trevino, Johnny Miller, Tom Watson, Ian Baker-Finch
and Mark O'Meara.
This course demands accuracy with elevated tees, set deep into trees and
bushes and plateau greens surrounded by deep bunkers. Not to mention,
the many sand dunes straddling the fairways set up to collect misdirected
shots throughout the course.
This course is considered to be one of the finest courses in the world. Playing this course is a must!
