Royal Lytham St Annes Golf Club is not a conventionally beautiful golf course, surrounded as it is by suburban housing and flanked by a railway line, but it has a charm all of its own. It is a Links Course that is a long way from the sea yet close enough for the sea breeze to have an effect on one's game and was aptly described by Bernard Darwin, the leading golf writer of the thirties, as 'a beast of a Course, but a just beast'. He went on to say that 'no one could fail to be impressed by its difficulties, which sets a golfer just about as ruthless as an examination as any Course of my acquaintance'.What a course this is, the picture above is the clubhouse on the right of the picture, and the dormy house on the left.I played here two days on the bounce with an overnight stay in the dormy house the course is tremendous with over 200 bunkers unbelievable greens and fairways,the clubhouse is full of great nostalgia and you are treated like royalty right down to your own luxury room in the dormy house (there is a picture below with the view from my dormy room) fantastic two day break,yes before you ask its tough but thoroughly enjoyable and well worth a visit.
