England’s Golf Coast: 20 Top-Flight Courses Just 30 Miles Apart

It is fair to say that Royal Liverpool and Royal Lytham are exceptional golf clubs. Each enjoys its own unique and important place in golfing history, and it’s easy to forget that, taken in a straight line, they’re located a mere 30 miles apart. The equally iconic and historic Royal Birkdale lies between them.

Yet even more extraordinary is the stretch of shore, here in Northwest England, that curves between the two — along which you will find twelve of the finest golf courses in Britain.

Welcome to England’s Golf Coast. From the Wirral peninsula to the Fylde Coast, this is a paradise for lovers of coastal golf courses and a place of pilgrimage for links golf devotees from across the globe.

Extending around the historic city of Liverpool, England’s Golf Coast boasts seven of the courses ranked in the “Top 100 for the UK and Ireland”. Such an unrivalled concentration of championship golf opportunities makes it easy to understand why many regard this as the world’s finest stretch of links golf.

Golfing History Behind Every Dune

The atmosphere here is so rich in golfing history that not even a stiff breeze from the Irish Sea can dispel it.

The trinity of coastal golf courses that reign England’s Golf Coast are the three Open Championship venues of Royal Birkdale, Royal Liverpool and Royal Lytham & St Anne’s. Together, this impressive “royal flush” has hosted The Open no less than 32 times since 1897. Meanwhile, golf clubs here have the collective distinction of hosting the Ryder Cup, Walker Cup, Curtis Cup, British Masters, Senior British Open, Ladies British Open, PGA Championship, English Senior Open and British Amateur.

History continues to be made in this golfing heartland, and 2022 will see Hillside host the Cazoo Classic, while Royal Liverpool will hold The Open in 2023  for an illustrious thirteenth time.

Yet this picturesque pocket of the northwest offers even more than these three historic royal venues. You’ll find 20 of Britain’s most naturally beautiful golf courses here on England’s Golf Coast, not to mention the highest concentration of championship links courses globally. These span from Heswall Golf Club on the Wirral northwards to Fairhaven Golf Course, just above Lytham St Annes.
