Hole 1 - Trail
Par 3 - 204 Yds
Re-designed in '19 by Golf Architect Marc Westenborg
@WestenborgGolf
, your tee shot needs to carry to a green that is banked by dunes and bunkers. A par is a good score to start your round on our James Briad designed course
#rydercuphosts19331937
Hole 2-Terrace
Par 5-566 Yds
Avoiding the heather & bunkers that line the fairway from the tee leaves you with a chance to reach in 2. Aim left with your 2nd shot as the fairway kicks the ball left to right. If laying up ensure you miss the bunkers, to a green that is undulating
Congratulations to S&A on winning the Selwyn Lloyd beating

3-0 this afternoon. Thank you to everyone who took part this weekend and a special thanks to

50 years ago, Dr David Marsh held the winning putt on the 17th hole at St Andrews to clinch the Walker Cup for GB&I against USA in 1971. People use the word legend too easily nowadays but that is exactly what Dr Marsh is, how lucky are we to call him our own
Finishing touches are underway for tomorrows practice round for the Pre-Qualifying Round/Amateur Championship. We look forward to welcoming golfers from 43 countries to
@SandAGolfClub

Daniel shot 138 (6 under par) in the S&A Bowl and 283 (5 under par) in the Lancashire Links Trophy!
Great golf ⛳️
Congratulations to Paul Howard from
@SandAGolfClub
winning the Crosby Challenge Plate today. Extremely tough conditions all day long. 149 total winning by 5 shots.
Hole in One! Well done to Phil Jackson - his ace at the 1st yesterday completes the set of the four par 3s for him during his time as a member. Not many have done that! 👏
Cool footage from the 1933 Ryder Cup
@SandAGolfClub
with US captain Walter Hagen almost hitting GB&I captain, J H Taylor with his practice swing. Taylor was clearly not amused, but he was to be the only of the Great Triumvirate to participate in the event and as a winner to boot!
'Southport & Ainsdale is the best designed course he has ever played'

@Lancashiregolf
Board in 2014 and was team manager for the U14/U15 boys squad for many years. Good luck John!
Great to see that we have moved up 6 places to 60th in the
@GolfMonthly
Top 100 Courses list. What do you think? Is that about right or should we be higher?!
Hole 5 - Hen Pen
Par 4 - 448 yds
The hole usually plays into the wind. A drive avoiding the fairway bunkers leaves a 2nd shot to a green with bunkers protecting the target. Stroke 1 on the card. A great golf hole.
It’s an honour to be hosting a Rose Ladies Series Event this year.
We are looking forward to welcoming you all back to S&A! Hopefully on a calmer day this year! 💨
