There is always great discussion about which is the best of the three Royal courses on the English golf coast around Liverpool. For me it's a toss up between Birkdale and Hoylake. As an Aussie travelling to the UK late in 2019, I had the opportunity to play all three. Birkdale is a stand out from the unique clubhouse architecture through to the magnificent links course that you don't have to be Tiger Woods to enjoy and score well. Every hole is a gem. Couple this with some wonderful history and memorabilia scattered throughout the club house and a pro shop and house staff that treat you like a member, it is one of the great golfing bucket list experiences.

We play at another local Wirral club , but were kindly invited to Wallasey by a member as a birthday gift for my son. As soon as you pull into the car park , the sense of history with the traditional club house hits you . The pro shop staff were extremely friendly and helpful On to the course and although my own golf on the day was awful , none of this had anything to do with the course which I can only describe as sublime. Perfectly manicured greens that run true without bobbles or deviation, crisp clear fairways . well defined rough and beautiful sculptured grass paths all set in lovely rolling dunes on the Wirral coast. The bunkers ( and I visited most of them ) were difficult , were fantastic , lots of clean stone free soft sand giving confidence to dig in and take the shot aggressively . The greens stunning Make no mistake , this is a golfers course , and not for the feint hearted , challenging testing and with the wind a true fight , and all the better for it , some truly outstanding holes which are not all about belting the ball as hard as possible but rather craft , guile and a good golf brain. A golfers golf course. The day was cut short through no fault of anyone's dues to lightening storms and we had to depart half way around. but even there Wallasey's class come to the fore with an instant offer to allow us to replay the round free of charge. If you are looking for a stunning golf course , that treats visitors well , with a beautiful backdrop with fantastic views of coast and sea , look no further.

Disc golf is great fun and the Manchester Disc Golf course is beautiful. Really well looked after by the volunteers and all of the regular players are really friendly. Great fun on your own or with the family, no matter if it's your 1st time or 1000th. I love to take my dog with me and have loads of fun walking him and throwing discs. Free to play if you have your own discs, or you can rent them from the cafe.

Short par 3 golf course, 85-135 yards. Ideal for first time and keen golfers, good short game practace. Great family fun, beautifull course, village and setting. No clubhouse, honesty box at 1st tee, with picnic table. Club hire available (phone ahead) or at Kings Head close by. Well kept testing little course, offers great value.
Reviewed By ThreeBikes - Durham, United Kingdom
Played here today, after a gap of some years. Excellent course. Some challenges but plenty of well cut fairways which reduces the lost ball count. Immensely scenic and interesting, good greens and excellent fun. Wonderfully positioned, so you can retire to the Kings Head, or Black Swan for a great pub meal afterwards If you like Par 3s this is an excellent example (also try the Rosedale, Yorks, version of the same) Heartily recommended

The most famous course in the area has hosted the British Open 3 times in the last 30 years.
Reviewed By miffjames - Avalon Beach, Australia
There is so much golf history at this wonderful club. One of the 3 Royals on the English Golf Coast around Liverpool/Blackpool and quite different from Hoylake and Birkdale. 200+ bunkers throughout the course and 17 of them on the 18th. Lytham is a seriously good golf course and one where you have to place the ball strategically to score well. Like so many of the courses on the Open rota, online bookings are easy and you are made very welcome by house staff and the pro shop. As an Aussie, you think about Adam Scott throwing away the Open at Lytham in the last 4 holes in 2012 and Seve's 2 wins in 1979 and 1988. Just a fabulous golfing experience on a links course where every hole is a gem.

We have just returned from an unforgettable weekend at Formby golf club stopping in the Dormy House for 2 nights and playing 2 rounds on the Links and one on the Ladies course.We were a party of 8 golfers from North Wales whose handicaps ranged from 1 to 14.From the moment we arrived on Friday morning until we left on Sunday afternoon everything was perfect.We were greeted by Elaine on reception who in a very pleasant manner explained all the procedures now in place and Karen then escorted us to our rooms and explained everything that we needed to know.Throughout our stay all of the staff in the bar and restaurant were very friendly and courteous and went out of their way to make our stay so pleasant.The golf course was absolutely magnificent and in fantastic condition and proved a real test to us all and having played at all the major courses Formby is up there with the best of them.Thanks to the pro for his advice and all the members for making us so welcome.
