| Royal Birkdale Golf Club | |
 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, the best of all the great golf courses to have staged The Open Championship.
Royal Birkdale Golf Club in the town of Southport, is one of the clubs in the Open Championship rotation. The club has hosted The Open eight times since 1954, with the next championship to be held in 2008. Previous winners of the Open at Royal Birkdale are Mark O'Meara, Ian Baker-Finch, Tom Watson, Johnny Miller, Lee Trevino, Arnold Palmer and Peter Thomson (on two separate occasions). Birkdale is the only course in the Open rotation that has never had a champion from the United Kingdom. Royal Birkdale has also hosted the Ryder Cup, the Walker Cup, and the Curtis Cup. Established since 1889, golfing enthusiasts may like to play a round on this famous 18-hole championship course and walk in the steps of some great sports stars. All players must hold a handicap certificate and observe the dress code that applies to the course, clubhouse and dining room areas. The Spike Bar and lounge area offer a quiet haven for relaxing after a tough day on the course. A caddy service and private tuition are available, but must be booked in advance. Non-club members and visitors need to make a reservation prior to arrival. More golf news |
