What the club says: The Club is delighted to welcome both ladies and gentlemen, offering a truly testing links course for visitors and societies as well as a warm, welcoming atmosphere with first class facilities and excellent catering.
There is splendid contrast to be found on the Formby Ladies course. Those holes lying on the flat landward side entice players into error by their misleading air of innocence; while the picturesque adventurous holes lying among the sandhills and the pine woods provide many golfing challenges.
Several holes have elevated tees providing excellent views over much of the course and towards the Irish Sea. The par 3 holes are some of the most difficult you could wish to play anywhere.

Reviewed Aug 16 2019 by Piers W - rated 5 out of 5 Must be accurate
First time of playing this course and totally different to the men?s course I played that morning. If you are wayward at any point expect to be punished by the thick heather. Greens and fairways immaculate and I think I used my driver 3 times, the rest being a steady 5 iron off the tee. Definitely a course to revisit.Course (layout/challlenge)

Obviously in the shadow of the main course but well worth a visit. It sit within the main course and has it's own clubhouse. Not long but still a decent challenge for any golfer.(Round played: May 2019 - Score: 91 Handicap: 14.8)

Reviewed Jun 4 2017 by Geraldine W - rated 5 out of 5 Hidden GEM
This course is breathtaking, a must play for all keen golfers. A great tester for anyone's golf skills and the course was in excellent condition. Keep your ball on the fairway as there is lots of trouble in the rough and gorse. The fairways and greens are fantastic and every hole you play offers a new surprise, Beautiful giant pine trees and scenery add to the all round experience. The moment you go into the club house there is a very warm welcome and atmosphere, you will be well looked after. I will be back here soonCourse (layout/challlenge)

Loved playing this as a warm up to the main course the next day.Never played with thick heather as the rough - so punishing. Keep it on the short stuff at all costs! Some really great holes. Will play again. Julie in the office could not be more helpful. Every member on the course and in the clubhouse was soooo friendly.

Reviewed Nov 14 2016 by Bruce V - rated 5 out of 5 WOW!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 then exceptionally courteous green staff.
The ladies course was great fun and not as easy as you may think..... deadly if you don't follow the shops advice "fairways and greens and only aim for what you can see". Two foot off the fairway and you are in gorse!!!!
Highly recommend the dormy accommodation, breakfast and bar food!
This is what golf is supposed to be like everywhere!

Reviewed Nov 3 2016 by Richard M - rated 5 out of 5 Wow. Super course. Some gorgeous holes. Favourites were 4th and looking down the 10th off the tee. None of us had seen heather lined fairways before so that got us focused after the first stray drives!!!The staff are are amazing. Julie Stong on reception couldn't be more friendly and helpful . Can't wait to try the main course later.....the ladies course was a great warmup!

Reviewed Jun 1 2016 by Derrick E - rated 5 out of 5 Lovely coastal course in excellent condition - very picturesque in parts. Shorter than most men's courses but very tight at times with lots of heather to catch wayward shots. Wind adds to the difficulty. Accuracy more important then length. Well worth playing.
