Played for first time in very windy conditions 22mph, course in winter not the same as summer golf but still well worth it.

(Round played: Mar 2022 - Score: 82 Handicap: 9.2)

Must play course

The ?185 winter visitor rates are expensive, but this is a bucket list course you aren't going to play every week. The course was in good condition despite the recent weather and a real challenge as the wind picked up. Honestly, I'd rather play Formby, Hillside or Royal Lytham now that Birkdale is ticked off my bucket list, must it's a must play course despite the cost, even if only once!

The course can be friendly or a beast, depends on the wind. Steeped in History and with great scenery with views across the Ribble Estuary to Lytham and Blackpool.
A warm welcome in the Clubhouse with excellent food but the Green Fees are on the high side.
My favorite course.

Reviewed Oct 9 2024

Excellent condition. Greens very fast, bunkers galore and bunkers too numerous to count. With rough immediately off the fairway that is tough to find and play your ball. A championship course through and through - one to definitely experience. All the staff very welcoming and helpful,

Stunning.

To walk these fairways and play these greens that the greatest golfers the world has ever seen is a privilege nobody should take for granted.

What an experience.
