Your essential guide to England's Golf Coast

An online magazine dedicated to some of the best courses in the North West.

The Essential Guide to England's Golf Coast is an online magazine produced in partnership with Visit England.

Inside are just a handful of the terrific courses in the North West that are positioned by the sea, from Royal Birkdale to Wallasey.

First, the renowned Royal Liverpool, Royal Lytham & St Annes and Royal Birkdale are profiled. The trio of courses have played host to countless majors down the years and are must-visits for any dedicated golfer.

Then the magazine delves into just a small segment of the other coastal courses England has to offer. There is also video content and a gallery to go with all of the courses listed to give you everything you need to know before planning your journey.

One hole from each course is also identified as the key hole, so you know exactly what to anticipate when you arrive.

Caldy and Formby are among the 'best supporting role candidates', with an in-depth description of both giving you all the information you need.

Then the magazine moves onto Fairhaven and Formby Hall, before looking at Hesketh and Hillside.

The course profiles are completed with Southport & Ainsdale, Wallasey and West Lancashire.
