St Annes Old Links

Lytham St Annes, Lancashire, England

St Annes Old Links is a championship links course founded in 1901 located on England's north-west coast in Lancashire. The course stretches 6,907 yards with a par of 72, offering a demanding test of links golf. Founded over a century ago, it ranks among the finest championship courses in the region and is regularly voted in the Top 100 courses in England by major golf publications including Golf World, Today's Golfer, and National Club Golfer. The course has hosted significant qualifying tournaments, including Final Qualifying for The Open from 2018 to 2022, qualifying rounds for the Women's British Open and Senior Open, and co-hosted The Amateur Championship in 2022 alongside neighbouring Royal Lytham & St Annes. The signature 9th hole has gained particular recognition, voted by Golf World as the Top 9th Hole in Great Britain. Bobby Jones famously remarked of the course that "it's difficult to see how you could improve on this."
