Presentation
Built in 1889, the Birkdale Golf Club waited until 1951 to achieve "Royal" status. In 1946, it hosted its first major tournament with the British Amateur Championship, then the Curtis Cup in 1948, the Walker Cup in 1951 before being included in the rotation of the British Open.
The stunning seaside resort of Southport is home to the Royal Birkdale course. For many players this is the best of anyone hosting the British Open. Combining technicality and beauty, this magnificent course certainly deserves its position on the podium of the best golf courses in the country. It is a gem that offers all golfers an unforgettable experience.
