2 Nights, 3 Rounds
Hesketh is the oldest golf club of any in the Southport area, dating back to 1885. Since then, it has established a reputation as one of the best courses around, and a testament to this is its consistent selection as the host for final qualifying when the Open Championship is staged at nearby Royal Birkdale.
2 Nights, 3 Rounds
Hesketh is not a traditional links course, but can be viewed almost in two separate halves; part of the layout features superb holes that are carved through the towering sand dunes, while the remainder borders the Ribble Estuary. This diversity makes Hesketh an intriguing challenge, where visitors must build up to the formidable closing stretch, where consecutive par-5s to finish can either make or break a scorecard.
Recent alterations by the esteemed Hawtree Design team have made Hesketh more relevant to the modern game, and emphasised its position as one of the best on the Southport tour.
Be brave at the back-to-back par-5s to finish, where you can make or break your scorecard.
Hesketh Golf Club is ranked as one of the best courses in North West England

Friendly greeting in the pro-shop. The course was in good condition and well presented but not in the same league as either West Lancs or Hillside. Still a worthwhile visit and very enjoyable.

Very much a course of two halves, 7 of the nicest holes you’ll play unfortunately coupled with 11 that don’t stand up well with the courses around.

Brief respite from the tougher links courses. Lovely condition and a pleasant walk around a reasonably flat course. Nice coffee but catering was not available due to staff training

A lovely course too. We took our time as it was a rainy and potentially thundery morning but thankfully none of it came our way. The course is set up very nicely for visitors and we really enjoyed our round. Staff & members all very friendly.

We liked the course, it has a few really interesting holes, but overall is fairly easy. We played at 10am on a Sunday and there wasn’t anyone on it, which was rather surprising and we went at a good pace and got lucky with the weather, while those teeing off later had to have their waterproofs on.

A lovely set up, great location. The fairways were a little scruffy in places and the greens had recently been seeded so not as fast as they normally are.
