Southport & Ainsdale Golf Club

Situated centrally at the heart of Englands Golf Coast, Southport and Ainsdale (S&A) has twice hosted the Ryder Cup. It is a majestic and challenging championship course with undulating fairways, rolling dunes, heathland shoulders, and more often than not a steady sea breeze. All this supports it’s reputation as a formidable TOP 50 golfing challenge, and adds support as to why it hosts other major competitions and the R&A Amateur Championship.  S&A was described as one of the best designed links courses ever, however one of the most famous quotes about Southport and Ainsdale GC was made by Walter Hagen, who after leading the USA and winning the Ryder Cup, Hagen openly stated ‘ I have just had the greatest thrill of my golfing life.’  The course today remains a magnificent test of golf and this remains a highly sought after and respected destination for travelling golfers.  It’ pedigree is high and during 2023 it will host the professional Ladies Rose Series, the R&A Amateur Championship and the England Golf County Finals
