Venue

Hesketh Golf Club

Southport, Merseyside, England

Hesketh Golf Club, founded in 1885, is Southport's oldest golf course, located among Victorian villas in Churchtown. Designed by George Lowe and James Braid, it presents a fair yet demanding championship-caliber test. The layout features 18 holes split between two distinct environments: half weave through sand dunes while the remainder run alongside the Ribble Estuary, creating varied playing conditions. The dramatic finishing stretch from holes 14-18 frames the clubhouse scenically. The course borders a nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest, offering natural beauty and diverse wildlife. Hesketh has hosted numerous prestigious tournaments including the Amateur Championship, R&A Junior Open, and British Senior Amateur, and regularly serves as a Regional Qualifying venue for The Open Championship. The club holds significant historical importance-the English Golf Union was founded here, and it counts notable players among its members and alumni, including DP World Tour winners Lee Slattery and Matthew Baldwin. The course has produced several touring professionals and maintains a strong competitive tradition.
