Royal Birkdale - A fantastic Open Championship venue which last welcomed the event back in 2017 and saw the remarkable triumph of Jordan Spieth. The perfect example of a links course, each hole runs through a landscape of high dunes, the fairways are flat and fair and from the tee there is generally a clear view of the task ahead. Each hole is memorable, from The Open Championship tee on the 13th, which measures 498 yards and is one of the longest par 4s in championship golf, to the 16th hole, where a plaque commemorates Arnold Palmer's great shot in appalling weather conditions, on the way to his Open win 1961!
