Course Opened: 1908

Formby Ladies Golf Club, founded in 1896, is situated at the heart of “England’s Golf Coast”, a 30 mile stretch of fabulous Lancashire coastline. Here you will find twenty links golf courses, including three Royals, our near neighbour Royal Birkdale, Royal Lytham to the north and Royal Liverpool to the south.

It is a unique ladies only members' club, offering a truly testing links course as well as a warm, welcoming atmosphere to visitors, with first class facilities and excellent catering.  Everything needed for a memorable day!

 

Set amongst the pine trees and sand dunes of the Lancashire Coast, the Formby Ladies Golf course provides a wonderfully varied challenge to the visitor.

From the red markers, the course is 5,374 yards (4,914 metres) with a Standard Scratch Score of 72.

The tight fairways and well guarded greens demand skill and precision from golfers of all levels. Indigenous heather protects much of the rough and great caution is required at many holes.

There is splendid contrast to be found on the Formby Ladies course. Those holes lying on the flat landward side entice players into error by their misleading air of innocence; while the picturesque adventurous holes lying among the sandhills and the pine woods provide "mental as well as physical" hazards!

Several holes have elevated tees providing excellent views over much of the course and towards the Irish Sea. The par 3 holes are some of the most difficult you could wish to play anywhere.

Formby Ladies lies in the central area of the property owned by the acclaimed Formby Golf Club. The latter is a championship golf course and is available to visitors every day, including weekends, except on competition days.
