The stunning coastal resort of Southport is host to the finest links courses in England. This is the home of Royal Birkdale, for many golfers, quite simply, one of the best of all the great golf courses to have staged The Open Championship.

Against the backdrop of over a century of history and traditions, this is one of the finest courses for challenging and stunning links.

From the 1909 Ladies' British Open Match Play Championship, to the 1951 Walker Cup, to the 1965 Ryder Cup, to the 1983 Open Championship, to the Senior Open Championship in 2013 to play homage to only a few tournaments the Royal Birkdale has hosted. With such a rich history you would be foolish not to visit this golf course.
