About West Lancashire Golf Club
West Lancashire is a true gem in England's Golf Coast. It was founded in 1873 by seven members of Royal Liverpool Golf Club, anxious to expand ‘the Scottish national game’ by bringing it across the River Mersey. It's a Championship course, which meanders along the natural undulating land of the Crosby coastline and the Liverpool to Southport railway line, boasting long running fairways and tight bunkers challenging golfers of all abilities to a testing round of golf.
The Club has played host to many prestigious events, including the Regional and Final Qualifying for The Open, the Brabazon Trophy, the Rose Ladies Series and Amateur Championships. It is regularly recognised as being one of the top 100 courses in England.
Words from Donald Steel
We thought this beautiful quote from golfing legend Donald Steel sums up this course perfectly: "Only in Britain can one savour the true flavour of seaside golf of which West Lancashire is a perfect example. There are humps and hollows, greens on plateaux and greens in dells, contrast and comparative shelter in the inland holes and everywhere a sea of rough and wilderness to punish the wrongdoer. On summer evenings, as the sun casts its shadows on the links, the shipping slips silently by on the Mersey and there is time to reflect on the distant beauty, the realisation occurs that West Lancashire enjoys the best of all worlds".
