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.

Reviewed Oct 27 2020 by john barclay - rated 1 out of 5 Very bland boring course except for 7 links holes. Definitely not worth £80, maybe £20 at best.
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.

Reviewed Aug 16 2019 by Piers W - rated 5 out of 5 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.Course (layout/challlenge)

Reviewed May 30 2019 by Steve W - rated 3 out of 5 Enjoyable links/parkland layout. In overall good condition. 14th and 15th lovely pair of holes. Greens were very good in mid May. Condition of some fairways average still recovering from last summer. Grass driving range is a bonus.

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)

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)

Reviewed Jun 30 2018 by Chris B - rated 5 out of 5 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)
