The Golf

Measuring 6726 yards and ranked in the top 30 courses in the world the par 72 course provides golfers with a severe but fair test of golf.

In the 1980's it had been appreciated for several years that there were underlying problems with the greens and after the Open Championship in 1991 the club took the brave decision to dig up, re-design and relay all 18 greens. The considerable capital investment has ensured that Royal Birkdale remains one of the finest links courses in the world. Worthy of mention is the fact that in the 1998 Golf World "Top Courses in the British Isles" Royal Birkdale was rated number one.

A regular venue for The Open and Ryder Cups in 1965 & 1969, this venue is a must for all golfers.
