Golf course review of Royal Liverpool Golf Club

The greens were amongst the best (and truest) I have ever payed on. The rough was amongst the longest I have ever played in! Very Friendly in the clubhouse.

Golf course review of Royal Liverpool Golf Club

I was delighted to get to play Hoylake again, now for the 3rd time, but with a year or so since the last time. I have to say that I can see what people mean when they say it grows on you. Playing the course with some prior knowledge of where you need to be on the fairways to get the best shot at the green and how to avoid the killer bunkers really makes a difference. Talking of the bunkers, I managed to go in less this time, but when I was, I have to say the condition of them is second to none. There are no complaints or excuses when it’s a struggle to get out. Another thing I had in mind was that the 11th is a lot more challenging once you know more about it. It looks idyllic perched on the edge of the Dee Estuary with fantastic views 360 degrees around. Don’t be fooled, this is a tough Par 3 and a real highlight of the round. The other stand-out hole for me was the all new green on the 17th. I say green, but actually the new angle of attack makes it feel like a completely new hole... and a great one at that. It’s a tough landing area, with some intelligently placed bunkers and roll-off areas that offer a premium for accurate long iron play. Overall, I love playing at Hoylake and I can’t wait to get fit again after my knee operation and get back out ahead of the Women’s Open next year.

Golf course review of Royal Liverpool Golf Club

I agree that Royal Liverpool is a grower, it can sometimes come across as unassuming and a little flat in places for a links. However after a couple of rounds it's clear why this is a classic, it's a real shot-maker's course. It's tough but fair, good shots are rewarded as well as bad shots penalised. The condition is always first class and the recent modifications have worked really well including an extremely challenging new 17th green. Stand out holes include the 1st, 5th, 11th, 12th and 16th. Before you leave, check out the museum-like clubhouse, full of memorabilia and historic golfing firsts.

Golf course review of Royal Liverpool Golf Club

Royal Liverpool is one of those courses that grows on you the more you play it... It is a truly magnificent test of golf for all handicappers, but probably best to play the Yellow tees for handicaps over 16. I feel honoured to play their every week.

Golf course review of Royal Liverpool Golf Club

Played in the Macmillan cancer charity day. Beautiful day and the course was great. Tough course for high handicappers, especially the bunkers but a great experience to play one of the UK's open championship courses.

Golf course review of Royal Liverpool Golf Club

Wonderful course - need to plot your way round. Great to be able to play the same course (not under the same conditions I know) as some as the world's greatest ever golfers.

Golf course review of Royal Liverpool Golf Club

Not much to say as it was a very wet day, extremely difficult to get out of the rough and not as enjoyable as it should have been, but we still enjoyed playing a great course.
