Home to some of the finest links courses in the world, Southport sits at the heart of England's Golf Coast, where championship golf, rich heritage and unforgettable seaside experiences combine to create one of Britain's premier golfing destinations.
Southport's reputation as England's Golf Coast is built on a remarkable collection of championship links courses, led by the iconic Royal Birkdale Golf Club. Having successfully hosted The 154th Open in 2026, Royal Birkdale once again cemented its status as one of the world's great golfing venues, adding another memorable chapter to its illustrious history.
The spotlight on England's Golf Coast continues to shine brightly, with The Open set to return to nearby Royal Lytham & St Annes in 2028. Together with Royal Birkdale Golf Club and Royal Liverpool Golf Club, these legendary venues form one of the most distinguished stretches of championship golf anywhere in the world.
Yet Southport's appeal extends far beyond one famous course. Within minutes of the town centre, golfers can experience an unrivalled collection of outstanding links layouts, including Hillside, Formby, Hesketh, Southport & Ainsdale, and West Lancashire. Combined, they offer a golfing experience that is unmatched in England, attracting visitors from across the globe to play courses that consistently rank among the finest in the British Isles.
As the ideal base for exploring England's Golf Coast, Southport offers world-class golf alongside welcoming accommodation, vibrant dining and a classic seaside atmosphere, making it the perfect destination for a memorable golfing break.
