Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club was founded in 1886 and the present course was constructed in 1897.
The Clubhouse celebrated its Centenary in 1998. It is one of the premier links courses in the world, host to ten Open Championships, two Ryder Cups and numerous other major tournaments including the Women's and Seniors Open Championships.
It is a true links course, set upon links land but set back from the current day shoreline, separated by housing, roads, and a rail line. However, the proximity is such that the wind from the sea still comes into play. There are 206 bunkers on the course. The course is also unique as it is the only course on The Open Championship rota that starts with a par 3 hole.
Northern hospitality has always been famous and Royal Lytham leads the way.
