What the club says: The course is located within the sandhills and pine woods of Formby, the natural terrain providing a memorable challenge to the golfer. Members play the course at 6505 yards but the championship length has recently been increased to 7028 yards. Accuracy is always required since the indigenous heather protects much of the rough and great caution is required whether this be off the tee, in approach shots, or on the green.

Truly Incredible
I have played this course many times and it is incredible. It is a challenge, it is fun and the views are fantastic. The holes are fun and hard at the same time. I would play this course over any of the 3 Open courses in the area any day. Depending on the wind coming off the sea, I have played the par-3 #10 with an 8-iron and with a 3-wood! So the course can be different every time you play it. You have to play this course-a true gem. The club house is splendid too, great staff and you can even stay in the dormy right in the clubhouse. The full package. I normally do not write reviews like this but this course deserves it. Thank you Formby Golf Club!








Great course
Played a lot on this course lately as it?s drainage has been coping really well with all the rain.Most of the other golf courses are closed do to flooding.
Every time it seems to get more enjoyable as my course management is improving
It?s a difficult course for high handicappers with a lot of water hazards and pot bunkers.
The course is well laid out with some very interesting holes.
The green keepers do a fantastic job looking after the course keeping it in excellent condition constantly improving its condition.
Overall I would recommend this course to everyone & is worth a visit.









Formby fantastic second year running

Fantastic as Ever
My favourite coast on the coast. Love being able to play here when i get the chance. Everything about the course and its condition is simply superb - shame about my golf on the day!(Round played: Oct 2017 - Score: 89 Handicap: 11.4)








Wonderful
A fabulous course which is beautiful and challenging. Would highly recommend to anyone.(Round played: Oct 2017 - Score: 97 Handicap: 12.3)









Stunning links golf course
Despite the rain I loved every hole on this gorgeous links course. Set with the backdrop of pine trees, each hole is interesting and challenging in its own right. The greens are some of the best I have ever played on. Club has top class practice facilities, good size changing rooms with showers and food in the bar was good value. The pro shop and starter offered a warm welcome especially being the week of The Open. Can't wait to go back one day!19th July 2017

Excellent Links Course
Excellent course in great condition. Plenty of dangers await from deep bunkers, heather, obscured fairways etc. Large challenging greens with undulations, but true roll of the ball. Would certainly help if different coloured flags for pin positions were used. Tough course but very interesting.(Round played: Jun 2017 - Score: 94 Handicap: 18.2)





WOW! You won't regret playing this beauty















What a club, what a welcome, what staff..... from Julie on reception, to Tony at the bar to the extremely helpful waitresses and staff including the exceptionally courteous green staff.
This course was great fun and my first proper links course it was as hard as you may think..... deadly if you dont stay on fairways and the greens were a combination of difficult and fun in judt the right quantity
Highly recommend the dormy accommodation, breakfast and bar food!
This is what golf is supposed to be like everywhere









(Round played: Oct 2016 - Score: 91 Handicap: 10.6)








The course is one thing that did meet with the reputation it has, in excellent condition, challenging yet fair with wonderful, ironed greens on which putting was a delight.
We have toured as a group for 22 years throughout the UK and this will always remain as one of our favourite visits, hopefully we will make it back again one day.
So my advice to any golfer thinking about playing this magnificent course, go ahead and do it and I'm sure you will be made as welcome as we were.








great course. loved it. one of the best ive ever played!!! a pleasure.
