Lancs and Cheshire Best Golf Courses
Best golf courses in Lancashire and Cheshire
The Lancashire coast: Here on the dune-filled seashore of the “Red Rose” county, sometimes referred to as “England’s Golf Coast", you’ll find a links golf paradise. One of the world’s greatest stretches of “sand hills golf” awaits as you journey south from Royal Lytham & St Annes. You’ll need to skirt round the Ribble Estuary and then head down to Liverpool, stopping in at Royal Birkdale along the way.
If you overshoot the “Home of The Beatles” and end up crossing the Mersey to the Wirral peninsula, then no problem. You can add Royal Liverpool to your itinerary. If three Open Championship venues don’t satisfy your golfing appetite, then try any of the other excellent links golf courses that sit either side of the “Royal” triumvirate. Courses like Caldy, Fairhaven, Formby, Hesketh, Heswall, Hillside, Southport & Ainsdale, Wallasey and West Lancs will not disappoint.
