Royal Birkdale Golf Club
Waterloo Road, Birkdale, Southport, Merseyside, PR8 2LX United Kingdom
A true test of golf, Royal Birkdale was founded in 1889 and on eight occasions has played host to the most famous championship of them all, The Open. Measuring 6,690 yards from the white championship tees, the links demands far more than simply distance, although this is a particular challenge when the wind comes in off the sea and seems to gather strength as it funnels through the valleys of giant sandhills. A round here is to be cherished and will never be forgotten.Book a Tee Time

Played Royal Birkdale as part of a 4 ball round won in a competition. As you would expect everything was first class, despite the four seasons in one day weather! Made to feel very welcome by the pro and members and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of the course.
Found the clubhouse to be a bit pricey, but you kind of expect this at a course that sits near the top of most peoples must play list!

The course can be friendly or a beast, depends on the wind. Steeped in History and with great scenery with views across the Ribble Estuary to Lytham and Blackpool.
A warm welcome in the Clubhouse with excellent food but the Green Fees are on the high side.
My favorite course.
