England's Open Coast, Liverpool, Southport & Lancashire
Three Open venues on one stretch of English coastline, with Liverpool after the final putt.
Why England's Open Coast?
Stand on the first tee at Royal Liverpool and you can almost hear the roars of past Opens drifting in off the Dee estuary.
This stretch of north-west England holds more championship golf than almost anywhere in the world. Royal Birkdale, with fairways laid through valleys in the towering dunes. Royal Lytham & St Annes, with its bunkers and its famous old clubhouse. Hillside and Formby, which would be the headline act almost anywhere else. These are proper English links, firm and honest, with clubhouses full of history and members who are proud to show you around.
And at the heart of it all is Liverpool. A match at Anfield or Goodison if the fixtures fall your way. The waterfront and the city's music story. Pubs that feel like living rooms, restaurants that have made the city a genuine food destination, and a crowd that loves nothing more than a good night out.
It is golf history by day and one of England's great cities by night.
Three Open venues, remarkably close
Royal Liverpool, Royal Birkdale and Royal Lytham & St Annes sit along one coast, creating a heavyweight route without the wasted hours usually attached to it.
The supporting golf is exceptional
Hillside and Formby would headline most English golf trips. Here they can be added around the Open venues according to the group's appetite.
Liverpool changes the trip
Premier League football, music history, restaurants and proper pubs give the evenings an identity far beyond the scorecard.
