Hillside Golf Club Merseyside

Hillside lies side by side with the Royal Birkdale course, amid a stretch of sandhills near Southport. Indeed, the quality of the individual holes is such that golfers may find it difficult to separate the two.

Typical of the links courses on the Northwest coastline, Hillside is open to the wind coming in from the Irish Sea and laid out in a truly stunning setting, the course is a true test for golfers of all handicaps.

Since 1967, Hillside has hosted several prestigious championships. In the late 1970’s, the British Ladies Championship and Amateur Championship were held; in the 1980’s the European PGA Championship and The Amateur Championship; in the 1990’s the English Open Amateur and the International European Amateur.

The course is a highly regarded Qualifying venue for The Open, in fact some would say it is one of the best links courses never to have hosted The Open!
