West Lancashire

Founded in 1873, West Lancashire is the oldest golf club surviving in the county of Lancashire and is among the ten oldest golf clubs in England.The club was founded by members of the Royal Liverpool Golf Club at Hoylake, “anxious to expand ‘the Scottish national game’ by bringing it across the River Mersey,” and most of these early pioneers were members of both clubs. Its esteemed Royal neighbors keep West Lancashire out of the limelight but it is truly a classical links course. The renowned golf course architect Donald Steel said of the course, “Only in Britain can one sample the true flavour of seaside golf of which West Lancashire is a perfect example”.
