Situated in Southport on the spectacular England’s Golf Coast, Royal Birkdale Golf Club is one of the world’s great championship links courses and an essential inclusion on any luxury Liverpool golf tour or England golf holiday.

Founded in 1889, Royal Birkdale has earned an international reputation for exceptional links golf. Its famous championship course winds through towering sand dunes, with beautifully defined fairways, challenging bunkers and fast, undulating greens creating a classic test of seaside golf. Unlike many traditional links courses, the fairways are often framed by the dunes, providing golfers with spectacular views and clearly defined holes throughout the round.

Royal Birkdale has a remarkable championship history and is one of the celebrated venues on The Open Championship rota. The course has hosted The Open on numerous occasions, welcoming many of the greatest players in golf and producing some unforgettable moments in championship history.

The combination of natural links terrain, coastal winds and strategic bunkering makes a round of golf at Royal Birkdale a memorable experience and a highlight of any golf vacation in England.

Ideally located close to Hillside Golf Club, Formby Golf Club, Southport & Ainsdale and Royal Liverpool, Royal Birkdale sits at the centre of one of the finest concentrations of championship links courses anywhere in the world.

GHW Golf Tours can arrange Royal Birkdale Golf Club tee times as part of a tailor-made England golf tour, combining world-class championship golf, luxury accommodation and private ground transportation.

For golfers looking to experience The Open Championship golf courses, classic links golf in England and some of the best golf courses near Liverpool, Royal Birkdale is simply not to be missed.
