Club Welcome
Founded in 1885, Hesketh is Southport’s oldest golf club. Set among the Victorian villas of Churchtown, the course blends rich history with natural beauty, bordering a renowned nature reserve and Site of Special Scientific Interest.
Designed by George Lowe and James Braid, Hesketh has long been a stage for championship golf. It regularly serves as a Regional Qualifying venue for The Open and has hosted prestigious events including the R&A Junior Open and the Amateur Championship.
The English Golf Union was founded here, and legends like Henry Cotton have graced its fairways. The club is also home to the unique ‘Hitler Trophy’ from the 1936 Berlin Olympics, won by Hesketh’s own Arnold Bentley.
The club continues to produce top talent. Lee Slattery and Matthew Baldwin have both triumphed on the DP World Tour.
The course itself offers a fair yet demanding test. Half the holes weave through dunes, the rest run alongside the Ribble Estuary. Visiting golfers can enjoy open competitions and tailored packages for individuals and societies.
