The course
Formby offers something distinctly different from its neighbours. Towering dunes and traditional links terrain merge with corridors of mature pine woodland to create an atmospheric and wonderfully varied course. Originally designed by Willie Park Jr, its development has also been influenced by James Braid and Harry Colt.
