Royal BirkdaleA course that provides a formidable test of links golf and fully deserves its recognition as a true venue for the Open Championship. Each hole runs in valleys between towering sand hills. The problems are clearly stated, if you stray from the fairway the buckthorn and scrub can be demanding.

Royal Liverpool - HoylakeDespite its somewhat flat and benign appearance, Royal Liverpool is among the toughest and most demanding of the great seaside championship links of Britain. Hoylake, as it is more commonly known, lies at the very heart of the history and development of golf in Britain.

Royal Lytham and St. Anne’sArguably the toughest of England's championship links courses. Unlike many of the other links courses, it does not sit beside the sea. Its main defense is the vast numbers of deep pot bunkers guarding both the fairways as well as the greens. This was the site for David Duval’s British Open triumph in 2001.

Sunningdale – Old CoursePerhaps the most prestigious club in England, Sunningdale features 103 bunkers, with pine, birch and oak trees lining the heather culminating with the famous 18th hole and the final green below the ''Sunningdale Oak Tree.”

Prince’sFormally used for target practice during WWII, Prince’s has been redesigned and is considered to be an upgraded layout to the one which Gene Sarazen triumphed over in winning his Open title here. The greens run fast and true while the fairways retain springiness year round.

The GroveThis exciting new parkland course follows tradition, but is accommodating to the strategy and demands of the modern game. The Grove follows the slopes, ridges and mounds of the local landscape. The course is set up for hard and fast greens and is mature beyond its tender age.

Royal St. George’sThe first course outside Scotland to stage The Open Championship, Royal St George’s is set in a vast area of natural linksland on the Kent coast closer to the ancient town of Sandwich. This course features awkward twists and turns each designed to derail an overconfident approach.

Woodhall SpaBuilt on sandy soil which allows for year round play, the Hotchkin Course is set amongst banks of gorse and broom, backed up with layered canopies of oak, fir and towering silver birch and encapsulated all upon a glorious carpet of heather.
