St Annes Old Links Golf Club

Highbury Roadï¾  - Lytham St Annesï¾  - Lancashireï¾ 

Founded in 1901, the stunning Championship links course that lurks behind the doors of St Anne's Old Links Golf Club is a fantastic and famed venue where you can enjoy a superb, challenging and unique golfing experience. A testament to its brilliance is its ability to hold its own in a region which boasts Open Championship venues including Royal Birkdale and Royal Lytham St Anne's. Indeed, the course has been used as the venue for qualifying rounds for The Open Championship.

James Herd laid out the designs for it well over a century ago, and the eighteen holes span approximately 6,700 yards from the first tee all the way to the last pin. A stunning, exceptionally challenging course, it really is an honour to be able to say you have played it. It is hard by the sand dunes which overlook the Irish Sea at the north end of town, so the wind is a factor on most days. With the exception of 3 one-shotters the holes run north to south, or the reverse, and the prevailing wind is westerly, or variations thereof.

Unusually for a links course there are four ponds which influence play on six holes and compounded with the fiery bounces of a dry summer it ensures exhilarating, demanding, traditional, pure links golf that is the very essence of the game. This course will certainly test your skill as a golfer.
