Open Competitions in Lancashire

Why Enter an Open Golf Event in Lancashire?

The Lancashire coast holds the densest concentration of championship links golf in England outside Kent. Royal Birkdale — eleven-time Open Championship host, most recently for Jordan Spieth in 2017 — sits alongside Royal Lytham & St Annes on the Fylde Coast (host of eleven Opens) and Hillside next door to Birkdale, with the Southport Coast Links Championship and the North West of England Links Championship two flagship amateur fixtures that rotate across them.

With direct rail from London Euston to Preston and the M6 and M61 running the length of the county, Lancashire is one of the most accessible regions in the country for visiting competitors. With strong club hospitality and a Lancashire Union of Golf Clubs calendar that complements the open programme, it remains a consistently rewarding county for amateur tournament play across both the marquee links and a deep network of inland clubs.
