Hillside Golf Club

Alright, so you're thinking about Hillside Golf Club? It's a solid choice if you're into golf, obviously. It's got a cracking reputation – 4.8 stars on Google from over 570 reviews doesn't lie. You'll find it right in Southport town centre, easy enough to get to. Give them a ring on 01704 567169 if you're curious.

It's not really one for the kids, unless they're budding Rory McIlroys. It's all outdoors, so weather-dependent, naturally. They're open year-round though, so don't worry about that. It's pretty close to Birkdale, so if you want to make a day of it, you could always pop over there.

It's not cheap, mind. Golf never is, is it? But if you're serious about your game, Hillside is one of the better courses around here. Check out their website – hillside-golfclub.co.uk – for all the details and prices.

Give them a call ahead to book your tee time, especially if you're planning on going during peak season, and remember your waterproofs – this is Southport, after all!
