Formby Golf Club
Recent developments have seen the maximum length extended to over 7,000 yards, and with the constant threat of the indigenous heather, there is no doubting Formby's formidable challenge. The original 1884 design has seen alterations from revered names like Willie Park, James Braid, Hawtree, Steel, Colt and Pennick, some of the most prominent individuals in the history of British golf architecture, and with this pedigree, it is easy to understand why Formby is held in such high regard.
When the wind blows hard, the firm and fast greens are difficult to find, and the lengthy par-3s are some of the most challenging in the local area. The superb history of the club itself, and the exceptionally mature golf course make it one of the premier stops on the Southport tour.
Visitors to Formby will be following in some famous footsteps; among the list of past champions is Jose Maria Olazabal, who defeated his fellow Ryder Cup hero Colin Montgomerie in the final of the 1984 Amateur Championship.
Formby Golf Club is ranked as one of the best courses in England

Very similar to the previous courses. Lots of bunkers and if you kept out of them, a score is there for you. Greens are too tricky and some beautiful holes in the trees. Very hot when we played.

Simply the best golf course I’ve ever played. It would be fantastic to be a member, this course is easily in the top 100 courses it’s awesome. Speed of greens, the set up of the course is at another level. Will be arranging another visit to this gem, it’s better than I expected and I went with high expectations.

Too many people being packed in on 8 minute tee times. Waiting almost every hole. Lovely course especially holes 5 to 14 out near the sea. Just too busy.
