Royal Liverpool Golf Club at Hoylake designed by architect Jack Morris has staged many major tournaments throughout its long history including ten Open Championships and many amateur events. 2006 will see the Royal Liverpool Golf Club host the 135th Open Championship.

The Royal Liverpool at Hoylake links can be, by turns, beautiful, uplifting, awe inspiring and, on occasion, soul-destroying. They were created to be a demanding test of golf and remain so, and they lie at the very heart of the history and development of golf in Great Britain.

Built in 1869, on what was then the racecourse of the Liverpool Hunt Club, Royal Liverpool Hoylake is the second oldest of all the English seaside courses, and one of the first to receive royal patronage.

With a par of 72 the Royal Liverpool Golf Club has fairly been described as a stern test for even the very best golfers. The course measures just over 7200 yards from the championship tees, and the new greens on the 3rd, 17th and 18th extend that challenge. With wonderful views of the River Dee estuary to the Welsh coast, the wind is an ever present factor in playing the historic links course.

The Clubhouse facilities at Royal Liverpool have gone through extensive modernisation works to ensure they are of an appropriate standard for an open venue and as a result the catering facilities at Royal Liverpool are now of the highest standard. Morning coffee and breakfast snacks are available by prior arrangement. Lunch is served upstairs in the dining room from noon to 5pm except on Monday when alternative arrangements are made. A range of snacks, sandwiches and afternoon teas is also available downstairs until 5.30pm. Dinner in the club house is a special delight, but prior booking is required.

Royal Liverpool Golf Club at Hoylake has a practice range, changing rooms and a superbly stocked professional shop. Trolleys are available for hire. Golf carts are permitted only on medical grounds and are not available for hire. Caddies are available, prior booking is essential.
