Why Golf in North West England?
This region is home to some of the most iconic courses in the UK. Royal Birkdale, on the Sefton Coast, is a great example. It regularly ranks among the best courses in the world. It has hosted The Open Championship multiple times. The dunes are dramatic, the fairways are tight, and the greens are fast.
Royal Lytham & St Annes has also hosted The Open. It’s a demanding, rewarding test on one of the world’s most famous links courses. Narrow fairways and deep bunkers punish any wayward shot.
For a more relaxed day, Formby Hall Golf Resort offers championship golf alongside luxury accommodation. It’s ideal for golfers wanting a complete resort experience. Sandiway Golf Club, in the Cheshire countryside, is another highly-rated course. It pairs beautiful surroundings with a genuine test of golf.
