Founded in 1901, St. Anne’s Old Links is another of the fine championship links of England’s north-western coast.
The pure links character of St. Anne’s has changed little over the years, although building development is now surrounding most of the perimeter. Every hole has its own individual characteristics, with the 170-yard par three, 9th hole, which offers a narrow green, well guarded by bunkers, is probably best known.

But while the 9th is probably the most talked about hole, with its immense 56-yard long green, others certainly provide a stiffer challenge.

While there are countless majestic holes at St. Anne’s Old Links, the purists often rate the 447-yard 7th hole as the most difficult on the course, particularly when played into the teeth of the prevailing westerly wind. Getting home in regulation is a struggle for even the longest hitters and for most players, the decision to lie up short of the ditch, which protects the green, is a decision very well made. Each hole on the homeward journey, beginning with the short but testing par four 10th hole presents varying challenges, while the long finish of two par fives, with the railway lurking as out-of-bounds for over one thousand yards on the right hand side, demands the utmost in concentration and tact.
