Royal Liverpool Golf Club
Royal Liverpool Golf Club, known as Hoylake, is one of the oldest and most revered links courses in England. Established in 1869, Royal Liverpool has a rich history of hosting major tournaments, including numerous Open Championships. While it may appear flat and straightforward at first glance, Hoylake’s true test lies in its demanding bunkers, subtle undulations, and the ever-changing winds blowing in from the Irish Sea. Each hole challenges golfers to think strategically, especially on signature holes like the par-3 13th, which demands accuracy to avoid the surrounding bunkers, and the par-5 18th, where a well-placed drive can set up a dramatic finish. With its blend of history, scenery, and challenge, Royal Liverpool offers a quintessential links golf experience that is both rewarding and memorable.
Wallasey Golf Club
Wallasey Golf Club is a hidden gem on the Wirral Peninsula and the birthplace of the Stableford scoring system. Established in 1891 and set against the stunning backdrop of the Irish Sea, Wallasey is a classic links course characterised by its rolling fairways, challenging dunes, and superb greens. The course is known for its variety, where each hole presents a new and distinct challenge, from blind tee shots to elevated greens. The par-4 4th, known as “The Wall,” is a standout, requiring a precise approach to a green guarded by steep slopes and tricky bunkers. The signature par-3 12th, “The Dunes,” is another memorable hole, with its elevated tee offering sweeping views of the coastline and a testing shot over dunes to a well-bunkered green. With its rich history and dramatic setting, Wallasey offers a true links challenge for golfers of all levels.
Caldy Golf Club
Caldy Golf Club is an often-underrated gem that combines parkland and coastal links elements. Perched on the cliffs overlooking the Dee Estuary, Caldy offers stunning panoramic views of Wales and the North Welsh hills across the water. Founded in 1907, the course provides a unique mix of holes that challenge both the strategic thinker and the bold player. The opening holes wind through more sheltered parkland terrain, while the later holes open up to expose golfers to the coastal winds, providing a variety of playing conditions. The par-4 10th, known as “The Cliff,” is a standout hole that offers a breathtaking view of the estuary and a challenging drive across a ravine. The finishing stretch along the cliff edge provides a thrilling end to the round, particularly the par-5 18th, which requires accuracy and good course management to avoid the trouble lurking on both sides.
Stay at Pendragon House
After a day on the links, golfers can unwind at Pendragon House, a charming guesthouse located in the heart of the Wirral Peninsula. Known for its warm hospitality, comfortable accommodation, and serene setting, Pendragon House provides the perfect place to relax and recharge. The guesthouse offers a range of amenities, including spacious rooms, home-cooked breakfasts, and easy access to the area’s best dining and attractions. With its cozy atmosphere and personalised service, Pendragon House serves as an ideal home base for those exploring the Wirral’s golfing treasures.
