Hoylake Golf Club
Sporting Club in Wirral, Merseyside
The Royal Liverpool Golf Club purchased some land and constructed a 9 hole course for the ladies. Some three decades later the Parish council, wanting to increase public amenities bought the course and converted it into an 18 hole one with the help of Mr James Braid. He was one 3rd of the legendary 'Triumvirate' of the turn of the century golfers which included JH Taylor & Harry Vardon. The course today is largely as he designed it, the only significant difference being the order in which we play the holes.
