Formby Golf Club
Liverpool
Formby Golf Club is one of the standout links courses on England’s Golf Coast, offering a classic championship golf experience just north of Liverpool. Founded in 1884, this historic club sits among mature sand dunes, pinewoods and natural coastal terrain, creating a layout that feels part links, part heathland and completely memorable.
The course is known for its undulating fairways, well-protected greens, strategic bunkering and views towards the Irish Sea. It is a proper test of accuracy and course management, but still delivers the kind of enjoyable, scenic round that makes it ideal for a golf holiday. Formby has also hosted major amateur events, including The Amateur Championship and Curtis Cup, giving it a strong championship pedigree.
For golfers planning a trip to the North West, Formby is perfectly placed. The club is only around 4 miles from Royal Birkdale, 8 miles from Southport and 15 miles from Liverpool city centre, making it easy to combine with other famous courses along England’s Golf Coast. Royal Birkdale, Hillside, Southport & Ainsdale and West Lancashire are all nearby, creating one of the strongest links golf itineraries in the country.
Golf Monthly lists Formby among its celebrated England’s Golf Coast courses, while Top 100 Golf Courses describes it as one of the prettiest top links between St Annes and Liverpool. For a golf break with history, scenery and serious golfing quality, Formby Golf Club is a must-play.

About The Area
Wallasey is a fantastic choice for golfers who want proper coastal golf, classic links conditions and a lively base close to both the Wirral coast and Liverpool. For a golf holiday in Wallasey, the headline course is Wallasey Golf Club, a historic English links laid out with influence from Tom Morris Snr. It gives visiting golfers exactly what they want from seaside golf: firm turf, dunes, exposed fairways, changing winds and that brilliant feeling that every round will play differently.
At Hashtag Golf Travel, we would recommend Wallasey as part of a wider Wirral golf break. You can pair Wallasey Golf Club with Royal Liverpool, Caldy, Heswall or other nearby Wirral golf courses to create a short golf tour with real variety. It works especially well for groups who want championship-style links golf without feeling tucked away in the middle of nowhere.
Away from the course, Wallasey has plenty to add to the trip. New Brighton is ideal for a relaxed post-round drink, a walk along the promenade or views across the Mersey. You are also close to West Kirby, Hilbre Island, Port Sunlight and Liverpool, so there is plenty for non-golf days too.
Our tip: choose Wallasey if your group wants a North West golf holiday with strong links golf, seaside atmosphere and easy access to restaurants, nightlife and culture after the round.
