Play on England’s Golf Coast at Royal Liverpool Golf Club and Wallasey Golf Club and spend 2 nights bed and breakfast at the Leverhulme Hotel. England’s Golf coast is home to 19 of the most beautiful and challenging golf courses in Britain.

The Royal Liverpool course at Hoylake started life as the racecourse of the Liverpool Hunt Club, set on the shores of the Dee and with the Welsh hills in the distance. As a reminder of its previous life, the original saddling bell is displayed among the memorabilia in the clubhouse. The golf course was built in 1869 and, with the exception of Westward ho! in Devon, is the oldest seaside course in England.

The club is a place of firsts: the first Amateur in 1885; the first international match between England and Scotland in 1902; the first international between Great Britain and the United States in 1921, now known as the Walker Cup. Although the Club has hosted many Open Championships and many a famous golfing hero has walked the fairways over the years, it is probably best known for its contribution to the amateur game and a place where amateurs feel at home.

Whilst at first appearance the course may look flat, it is a very challenging championship course, 6,900 yards from the member's tees. However, as with all links courses, the wind makes its presence felt. The summer breeze can be your ally and the icy gale a ruthless adversary. All the holes require your utmost attention. The enormous clubhouse offers a respite from the elements and a place to soak up the history and traditions of the game.

Wallasey Golf Club was founded in 1891 and, with its undulating fairways and sand dunes; it is a traditional links of 6,607 yards. It is situated in the Wirral peninsula overlooking Liverpool Bay and the Irish Sea, leaving it open to the elements and in particular, the wind. It is one of the great links courses of the north, originally designed by Tom Morris Senior and later altered by other notable golfing figures Alec Herd, Harold Hilton and James Braid. The club has a great history in the game, not least because this is where a club member, Dr Frank Stableford, first developed the Stableford system of points scoring.

The Course is a true test of golf, due in part to the prevailing northwesterly winds and the variety of holes, made all the more interesting by the natural terrain. The final four holes are among the toughest, particularly the 18th, which is a magnificent hole to finish the round. Wallasey has been described as 'The Diamond in the Dunes' and golfers who come here will enjoy the challenge of the course and the well-documented history and traditions of the game.

The Leverhulme Hotel is in the picturesque Garden Village of Port Sunlight in the Wirral peninsula, this Grade 2-listed art deco boutique hotel is a stunning hotel that opened to critical acclaim following its restoration in 2008.

The building was originally opened in 1907 as a cottage hospital. Today it is home to forty-five stylish bedrooms. With a contemporary art deco influence, each elegant space is individually styled and furnished to the same exacting standards, with sumptuous fabrics and bedlinen, the finest hand-picked furniture, the most comfortable beds and duck down pillows, and Wilton carpets. ^
