About Us...

Wirral Ladies’ is a vibrant club with a historic past and an exciting ‘present’. It provides an excellent opportunity for players of all ages and from all backgrounds to participate in the game of golf. The relatively short course of just under 5000 yards for ladies,and just under 5200 yards for men, means that a round is possible in under three hours, an important consideration for those with a busy lifestyle.

The club has always encouraged its business ladies and provides alternative days and times for almost every competition. The opportunity to play at weekends with few restrictions makes it very attractive for women who work. Men’s board competitions are nearly always played at weekends and midweek medals have late tee times available. For those who are able, a men’s hat plays informally throughout the week at lunchtime. There are also many opportunities for mixed competition, some formal but others simply friendly get-togethers, often followed by supper.

Laid out when The Wirral was countryside and seashore, the course fits effortlessly into the natural environment, covering the highest open land on the peninsula. This largely hidden green oasis retains its heritage of small copses and heathland and has become an important habitat for wildlife. The course was originally 9 holes and designed by local lad Harry Hilton, a winner in the Open Championship at Muirfield in 1892, winning again at his home club Royal Liverpool in 1897.

Hilton, a winner of the British Amateur Championship on four occasions, was inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame in 1978. Some characteristics of the original design have been maintained but the course was increased to 18 holes by 1907 and further extended after the Second World War and the clever design offers a subtle test of golf which is about so much more than how far you can hit the ball. The course rewards thoughtful play – be cautious and you will score, but only by combining caution with boldness will you score well. Small traditional greens are often elevated to deflect or stifle the wavering approach shot. Bunkers lie in those very places where the ball wants to roll. Any drives hit off line (if found) will leave the golfer with a shot into the green over trees, gorse or hazards. Call or visit our website for more information.
