The course
Royal Liverpool — universally known as Hoylake — is one of the most historically important clubs in world golf. More subtle than some dune-dominated links, its defence lies in strategic bunkering, firm ground, exposed terrain and the wind. Its contribution to amateur golf is every bit as significant as its extraordinary Open history.
