What's with all the love for St Annes?

Old man played it 2 years ago and said it was a flat and nothing special track.

That said, Beirut,sorry Blackpool would be good for ales!:cheers:

Another vote for St Anne's old links although I wouldn't be too sure about the availability of Royal Lytham with the open being there this year.
Another good shout is any combination of Birkdale, Hillside, and Southport and Ainsdale or all three. Formby is also close by.

I agree...... Formby Hall would do us a cracking deal! It has amazing practice facilities, quality par 3 course and the 18 hole is a good test. Lovely accommodation and local nightlife is ok. Formby Golf Club is supposed to be a different class as well, not sure if they would have us though.
I guess this area its fairly central for people travelling up or down. F|lights to Liverpool airport from our Guiness drinking contigent would be cheap if booked early enough.
 
Is it just me or is it amazing how many people think that their back garden is central to most of the forumites and hence where any potential day should be held?
 
what ever decided my funds ar efully tied up this year and all my work holiday allowance all ready booked up due to stag do wedding and honeymoon. would deff be up for it next year though
 
Hi all
I have made some inquiries with Southport area golf courses as some top tracks, lots of accomodation, good nightlife and I think it's the location that's would be the easisest to get to for the most number of folk
will keep you updated

Hello Mike, got to admit Im biased in my opinion, as a proud scouser. However, Liverpool (Southport/Lancashire coast) I think is the better option for the majority, at least geographically. It gives the Irish lads a chance for flight as well as boat options, it is also just over 3 hours away from central Scotland, as well as 80% of England and Wales populuos areas. The choice is the best (outside of Scotland) for links golf options.

I still haven't played Birkdale/Hillside/Formby myself, but have heard great things about them. The general consensus is Birkdale is better than Royal Liverpool, I can vouch that S&A is better than West lancs (Just) and is also an ex-ryder cup venue.

I belive that Hillside is held in as good an opinion as Birkdale, and sometimes better.

Nightlife believe me, Liverpool is a fantastic night out for all ages, I even had a geordie down recently who said that Liverpool is a better night out than Newcastle with regards to real ale/old mans boozers, which the city centre has loads of.

If not Leeds would also be reasonably central (but generally only for England though) and Ganton/Moortown/Moore Allerton would be a good shout amongst others.

P.S. If its Liverpool, you can have first shout in our guest bedroom!!!! Kiss,kiss.
