One of England’s Premier Championship Links
At Great Days Golf Travel, we proudly feature Royal Birkdale as one of the standout venues on England’s Golf Coast. Founded in 1889, this prestigous “Royal” club is consistently ranked among the finest courses in the world, offering a truly iconic links experience.
The club’s rich history is reflected throughout the clubhouse, where golfers can soak in memories of past championships before or after an unforgettable round.
A World-Class Open Championship Venue
Set along the dramatic dune-lined coastline of North West England, Royal Birkdale delivers a pure links test shaped by nature. Having hosted The Open Championship on multiple occasions, as well as the 1969 Ryder Cup, it stands among the most respected championship venues in the game.
The course has evolved over time with input from renowned figures such as Fred Hawtree and J. H. Taylor, ensuring a layout that is both traditional and perfectly suited to modern championship golf.
A True Links Test
Measuring just under 6,700 yards, this par-72 layout is famed for its balance of fairness and challenge. Defined fairways cut through towering dunes, while ever-changing coastal winds demand accuracy, control and smart decision-making throughout the round.
Royal Birkdale is more than just a round of golf – it’s a true bucket-list experience. Let Great Days Golf Travel help you include this iconic venue in your next UK golf itinerary.
