Venue

Fleetwood Golf Course

Fleetwood, Lancashire, England

Fleetwood Golf Club is a true links course located on the Lancashire coast in the northwest corner of the Fylde, near Blackpool and Lytham. The course stretches 6,521 yards and features a distinctive layout with a short par 4 opening hole that presents a birdie opportunity, followed by a closing hole designed as a risk-and-reward challenge to test longer hitters. As the only genuine links course on the Fylde coast, it offers an authentic seaside golf experience with the characteristic undulating terrain and coastal setting typical of links golf. The club has a rich history, with records indicating golf has been played at Fleetwood since 1861, when officers from the local barracks enjoyed the links. The course caters to both members and visitors, with professional instruction available through PGA staff and a well-stocked pro shop on-site. The club maintains an indoor practice facility for year-round game improvement.
