6,847 yards • Par 72

Royal Liverpool Golf Club at Hoylake has staged major tournaments throughout its long history including ten Open Championships and many amateur events, most recently the British Amateur championship in June 2000. The R&A have announced that the Open Championship will return to Hoylake in 2006. With a par of 72 the course has fairly been described as a stern test for even the very best golfers. The course measures just over 7200 yards from the championship tees, and the new greens on the 3rd, 17th and 18th extend that challenge. With wonderful views of the River Dee estuary to the Welsh coast, the wind is an ever present factor in playing the historic course. Whilst at first appearance the course may look flat, it is a very challenging championship course. However, as with all links courses, the wind makes its presence felt. The summer breeze can be your ally and the icy gale a ruthless adversary. All the holes require your utmost attention.The enormous clubhouse offers a respite from the elements and a place to soak up the history and traditions of the game.
