England’s Golf Coast

Take a trip to England’s northwest and explore England’s golf coast. The golf coast spans the seaside shorelines of Merseyside – from Lytham St Annes and Formby down to Liverpool and the Wirral.

This charming coastline is home to 12 of the finest golf courses in Britain, including three Open Championship venues – Royal Birkdale, Royal Liverpool and Royal Lytham & St Annes. Between them, they’ve hosted The Open an impressive 33 times, with the 2023 Open returning to Royal Liverpool for the first time since 2014.

England’s golf coast is situated just a stone’s throw away from the city of Liverpool, steeped in history, musical legacies, and home to one of England’s most successful soccer teams – Liverpool FC and arch-rivals Everton FC. The city is also well-known for its restaurant scene, rustic pubs, and nightlife.

Hillside, Formby, West Lancashire, and Southport & Ainsdale golf courses are also popular in their own right. They were recently featured in the Top 100 Courses in the UK and Ireland.
