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 have held 2 functions at Southport Old Links in the past 5 months. Andy, Jeanette and the staff are friendly, polite, very helpful and the foods superb. I can't recommend this place enough for any function you are holding whatever the occasion. We have also played golf here on a number of times the course is lovely and a credit to Simon the green keeper.
