Royal Lytham & St. Annes

Since the first 18 holes were laid out here in 1897, it has changed in character from a pure seaside links to a softer, lusher course. It is one of the premier links courses in the world, host to ten Open Championships, two Ryder Cups and numerous other major tournaments including the Women’s and Seniors Open Championships. It is renowned as a Course on which is it hard to scramble a good score, after all, there are 206 bunkers peppering the Fairways and surrounding the Greens. Careful thought and accurate shots are required.
