Southport Old Links Golf Club.

Alright, so you're thinking of playing a round in Churchtown? Southport Old Links Golf Club is the place. It's got a solid 4.6 stars from 238 Google reviews, so people generally like it. It's not right on the coast like some of the proper links courses, but it's a good option if you want something a bit more forgiving.

It's open pretty late, 11am to 11pm most nights, so good for a late round in summer. Give them a ring on 01704 228207 to check green fees and book a tee time. You'll want to do that, especially if you're planning on going at the weekend.

It's not Royal Birkdale, mind you. That's where they're hosting The Open in 2026, and that's a proper links course. Southport Old Links is a bit inland. Still, it's a decent course, and handier if you live this side of town.

One thing: it can get busy, especially evenings and weekends. So definitely call ahead to book. Check out their website too: southportoldlinksgolfclub.co.uk.
