Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Course

Royal Lytham and St Annes is one of the most storied venues in world golf, a links course of exceptional quality set among the red-brick streets of Lytham St Annes. Despite lying inland from the sea — bordered by railway lines and suburban housing — it delivers an authentic and demanding links experience through its closely mown fairways, deep pot bunkers and lightning-fast greens. A regular host of The Open Championship, the club has witnessed some of the game's most dramatic moments. Unusually, the course begins with a par-3 first hole, immediately demanding precision. Its closing stretch is renowned among the hardest finishes in championship golf.
