Situated in the heart of England’s Golf Coast, Southport & Ainsdale Golf Club is one of northwest England’s most historic championship links courses and a superb addition to any Liverpool golf tour or England golf holiday.

Founded in 1906, Southport & Ainsdale – often referred to simply as S&A – offers a classic test of traditional links golf. The course winds through impressive coastal dunes, with undulating fairways, natural rough, strategically positioned bunkers and fast-running greens combining to create an enjoyable yet challenging round.

Southport & Ainsdale has an outstanding championship heritage and is particularly famous for hosting the Ryder Cup in 1933 and 1937. This proud history gives visiting golfers the opportunity to play a course that has formed part of some of the most important moments in international golf.

One of the course’s most memorable features is the famous par-five 16th hole, where golfers encounter the distinctive Gumbleys bunker, creating one of the most recognisable challenges on the course.

Perfectly positioned close to Royal Birkdale, Hillside and Formby, Southport & Ainsdale is an excellent inclusion within a golf tour of Liverpool and England’s Golf Coast. It also combines superbly with Royal Liverpool and Royal Lytham & St Annes to create an unforgettable itinerary featuring some of the finest links golf in northwest England.
