Host of the European Seniors Tour Qualifying, Vale de Pinta is rightly respected not just for its playability and challenging layout but for outstanding levels of beauty and enjoyment.
In 2012, the British Open will be played for the 11th time at Royal Lytham & St Annes
The golf course was designed by the world-renowned architect Donald Steel, and the proximity of the sea and Óbidos lagoon afford hotel residents fantastic views of the natural beauty that surrounds.
It’s one of the toughest links courses in the UK and home to the 2011 Open Championships. Have you got what it takes to play Royal St George’s?
The Open Championship at Royal Lytham & St Annes, 2012
Venue for 10 Open Championships with the earliest winner here being Bobby Jones in 1926 and the most recent, David Duval in 2001. Royal Lytham is a links course with two strange aspects – it is a links course but there is no sea in view and the course opens with a par three. With 197 bunkers to contend with, full concentration is required by golfers playing this course!
A dedicated hospitality team is on-hand throughout the event to help you relax and recharge before you head out to the links, to see the players tackle one of the country’s most challenging courses.
Last held here in 2001, the Royal Lytham & St Annes golf course is one of the premier links courses in the world, having played host to 10 previous Open Championships. Darren Clarke will be looking to defend his title at Royal Lytham & St Annes.
With 206 bunkers peppering the Fairways and surrounding the Greens, it is renowned as a Course on which is it hard to scramble a good score.
Royal Lytham & St Annes was built in 1897, quickly gaining a reputation as one of the finest, and most exacting links golf courses in Britain. The routing of the holes and the huge number of bunkers makes it one of the most challenging of the Open venues. The design remains faithful to the layout created by George Lowe, but only after Harry Colt made improvements that the course was chosen to host The Open.
The Lancashire course could hardly have had a better introduction to Championship golf than the victory by legendary American amateur Bobby Jones when The Open was first played there in 1926. Bobby Locke (1952), Peter Thomson (1958) and Bob Charles (1963) were the next three winners before Tony Jacklin signalled the revival of British golf in 1969 with the first home victory since Max Faulkner at Royal Portrush.
Gary Player was next on the podium at Lytham, in 1974, and in 1979 Seve Ballesteros lit the fuse of European golf with a brilliant short game display; Seve returned in 1988 to win his third Open title. It took until 1996 for Lytham to produce an American winner, Tom Lehman, followed in 2001 by David Duval
