English GolfEngland is home to many a famous golf course. Open Championship venues including Royal St. George’s, Royal Birkdale and Royal Liverpool are at the forefront of English golf but there are those golfing gems that wait further inland. Courses that have been carved through stunning, ancient woodland are equally prominent as the classic links courses and there are also the stunning and challenging heathland courses to contend with.



Formby Golf

The awe inspiring layout at Formby brings the best of parkland and links golf together for 18 holes of golf at its best.

Bordered by trees Formby demands accuracy from the tee and the heavy rough that guards the greens will call on some Seve like magic to post a good score.



Old Thorns

The maturity of the woodland that surrounds Old Thorns gives many holes a feeling of utter isolation.
