flat and benign appearance, Royal Liverpool is among the toughest and most
demanding of the great seaside championship links of Britain. Hoylake, as it is
more commonly known, lies at the very heart of the history and development of
golf in Britain. Built in 1869, on what was then the racecourse of the Liverpool
Hunt Club, Hoylake is one of the oldest English seaside courses.

 Golf on Royal Birkdale A course that provides a formidable
test of links golf and fully deserves its recognition as a true venue for the
Open Championship. Each hole runs in valleys between towering sandhills. The
problems are clearly stated, if you stray from the fairway the buckthorn and
scrub can be demanding. The Open was last played at Birkdale in 2008 when
Padraig Harrington lifted the Claret Jug for back to back Open
Championships.
