Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club

Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club

Nestling between two busy seaside resorts, the Royal Lytham and St. Annes Golf Course is one of the most unique courses in the rotation of the British Open. It is a links in every sense of the word, with sandy soil and the wind blowing in from the Irish Sea. Open to the elements, the trees on the course permanently lean sideways, with the wind often proving a formidable competitor in the homeward five holes of the course.

Unusually, the course is set amongst a Victorian housing estate, and occupies a limited piece of land, with red-brick houses in plain view. Located nearby are the St. Annes train station with the railway line running adjacent to the first nine holes of the course.

Royal Lytham will host the British Open in 2012 and the Walker Cup in 2015.

Course Details

The course is well designed, with holes to test every level of player. It opens with a Par 3, the only major championship course to do so.

The first four holes and last five are said to be amongst the trickiest in Britain, but some respite is offered in between with holes which are within everyone can hope to emulate Seve Ballesteros’ five birdies and am eagle in this stretch on his way to winning the 1979 Open, this is a chance to put some lower scores on your card. Holes 16 to 18 have produced some of the most memorable moments in major championship history, 16 is the scene of Seve’s famous ’car park’ shot 1979.

Standing behind the 18th green, the grand Victorian clubhouse, with its oak-panelled dining room, offers a haven from the elements. A place to soak up history of previous championships and admire the skill of the past and present golfing heroes.

The famous golf correspondent and writer Pat Ward Thomas stayed at our Dormy House on a number of occasions and described it as "the finest example of a Dormy House in my experience. It stands, a handsome building, within its own policies and remains solely to serve the purpose for which it was built. I love the moment of awakening and looking across the beautiful sleek lawn of putting green to the Links, peacefully the day’s activities begin. All is quiet save perhaps for a greenkeeper making sure that everything is in order: one can linger in the wonderful bath and then stroll over to breakfast in the Clubhouse, past the little garden that always seems to be ablaze with colour whenever I am there."

A stay in the Dormy House is indeed a unique experience and it enables you to play on days and at times when visitors not staying with us are not permitted on the Course.
