West Lancashire is a course of contrasts with greens on plateaus and greens in hollows, areas of safety and shelter all set amongst a sea of rough and sandy wilderness.

Hesketh Golf Course
18 holes, 72 par, 6649 yards. Links / Woodland.
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.
Southport & Ainsdale
18 holes, 72 par, 6687 yards. Links.
Set amongst the sand dunes and heathland of the north west coastline, this two-time host of The Ryder Cup was designed by James Braid - one of the great figures that dominated British professional golf in the early part of the 20th century. The course is not incredibly long but the narrow fairways, bordered by sandy dunes and channels require application and accuracy off the tee.
