What the club says: Established in 1885, The Hesketh is the oldest club in Southport and is regularly chosen for Final Qualifying when The Open arrives across town at Royal Birkdale. Part links and part parkland, the distinctive challenge of the course is that half of the holes meander through tall sand dunes, while the other half border the Ribble estuary. Some of the best holes lie between the sandhills and the clubhouse, particularly the 18th, an impressive, lengthy finishing hole.

Much better around
The course is ok, but it thinks that it is in the same league as other local courses such as Birkdale. The 17th hole is an abomination, maybe time for a new green keeping team. The club house is the best part of this place. Lovely building but in need of some modernisation. The paths around the course also resemble the roads of an Uzbekistan Village, don’t fall down the pot holes.








Do not book as part of a package with the ther local courses, as you will be very disappointed.
Rubbish practice facikities. I play of 13.

Will be returning as soon as possible!









Quality on the golf coast
Well as ever Hesketh didn?t disappoint. I?ve played here a few times but not since the reshaped 17th fairway which is still work in progress and could do with some signage for newcomers to the course as in distance and direction. I do believe it will overtime become a fantastic feature of what is a deceptively challenging course. The greens were in perfect condition as they always are and be advised you need to be accurate when driving off the tees and on some holes it?s advisable not to be too greedy as it will suck you into all sorts of trouble. I absolutely love this course in my back yard and is up their with Hillside, S&A etc. Make a point of seeking this fantastic gem out.

One of the best
Played with a Society and it?s fair to say that Hesketh GC is a level above courses that I have played previously.I didn?t play particularly well but enjoyed every single hole & will definitely visit again.









Great course
Considering we played at end of march and the weather has been very wet for a few weeks leading up to it, the course has stood up to it unbelievably. Very challenging in places and accuracy over distance takes priority. Well worth a visit.(Round played: Mar 2019 - Score: 95 Handicap: 18.5)









(Round played: Mar 2019 - Score: 80 Handicap: 6.5)


















Very Average
There are a couple of great holes on this layout, but way too many average holes that means it does not represent good value. The greens were very good but the fairways were a bit messy.(Round played: Sep 2018 - Score: 87 Handicap: 7.6)









Brilliant course
Another Southport gem with fabulous holes








Nice course, worth playing
Second time playing Hesketh this time in much better conditions, hot sunny weather with a little bit of a breeze. Friendly welcome in clubhouse and pro shop. Course looking a bit scorched by recent hot weather giving plenty of roll on the fairways. Greens excellent, nice true roll. Temporary holes 17th & 18th in play due to redesigning so not as tough of a finish as before as now a par 3 & 4 instead of 2 par 5s. Good flat walking around but long. Will return for sure.(Round played: Jun 2018 - Score: 76 Handicap: 4.9)









Definitely a challenge
My Home track. Certain holes give you plenty to think about!!Greens are very fast indeed.

Superb course and great condition for time of year
Took advantage of a Winter offer. £30 for round followed by soup and sandwich. Course was in great nick, last 2 holes closed for development but rest looking great.(Round played: Dec 2017 - Score: 103 Handicap: 28)








Lovely Hesketh
Always in great condition whatever time of year. Very friendly staff and nice food.(Round played: Nov 2017 - Score: 78 Handicap: 5.7)









Excellent
Played the end of Sept and a great course, very different in parts. Parkland for the first part then gently moves into links type territory. Some fantastic holes, loads a variation, superb greens, loved it :-)(Round played: Sep 2017 - Score: 93 Handicap: 19.4)
