Local Golf
It must be down to the bracing sea air and the rolling countryside as golf has been played in Southport since the Victorian era.
Over the years a cluster of top quality courses to suit everyone has evolved and within just half an hour's drive of Bay Tree House there are at least 15 courses - six of championship standard. When you discover that these six are considered to be within the top 100 courses in the world, and that there are many more within an hour's drive, it is little wonder Southport is renowned as "England's Golfing Capital".
Golfers yet to discover the Southport experience are missing out on a truly unique choice of championship courses.
The world famous Royal Birkdale (venue for the 2008 Golf Open) is a golfer's paradise set alongside Hillside, Formby, Formby Ladies, Hesketh, Southport & Ainsdale, Formby Hall, Southport Old Links and West Lancashire. They each typify links golf at its very best.
