Royal Liverpool Golf Club
Wirral
Royal Liverpool Golf Club, often known simply as Hoylake, is one of England’s most historic and respected links courses. Set on the Wirral Peninsula, it is a true bucket-list venue for golfers planning a UK golf holiday, with a heritage stretching back to 1869 and a long-standing place on The Open Championship rota.
The course may look relatively flat at first glance, but that is exactly where Hoylake catches golfers out. This is strategic links golf, where wind, firm fairways, deep bunkers, out-of-bounds lines and subtle green complexes all demand proper thought. It is not just about hitting it miles; it is about choosing the right club, shaping the right shot and keeping the ball in the right places.
Royal Liverpool has hosted The Open Championship 13 times, most recently in 2023, adding huge appeal for golfers who want to walk fairways that have tested the very best players in the world. It is the sort of course where every hole feels quietly serious, and where a good score feels properly earned.
For a golf holiday in England’s North West, Royal Liverpool works beautifully as the headline round. It pairs naturally with nearby links courses such as Wallasey, West Lancashire, Formby and Royal Birkdale, creating a superb coastal golf itinerary.

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.
