What the club says: Established in 1885, Hesketh Golf Club is the oldest golf club in Southport. The Club is set to host Regional Qualifying for the Open Championship from 2023 to 2026.
Several holes meander through tall sand dunes, and the club is on a journey to re-establish the courses classic links feel. Some of the best holes lie between the sandhills and the clubhouse, particularly the 18th, an impressive, lengthy finishing hole.

First 2 holes and then last 5 holes are what you would expect in terms of sand dunes. The rest of the course is in a parkland type style. Greens are good and reasonably fast.

Fantastic Layout, must visit
My first time at Hesketh, and what a pleasant experience. Great layout, with a fantastic mix of holes, and a beautiful presented course by the Greens Team. Particularly liked the two closing par 5s.Lots of risk and reward. Anyone will enjoy.

Outstanding and difficult course
I have only played this course twice, the first was a number of years ago when I didn't appreciate it for what it was. Having played a couple of quality full links courses this year I really enjoyed the challenge that the holes around the clubhouse offered. Those across the road are tricky in places and the entire course was in excellent condition. The greens were hard fast flat and difficult to read in places. Highly recommendedReviewer Rating

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.Reviewer Rating

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.

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.Reviewer Rating

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)
