Southport & Ainsdale Golf Club
Southport & Ainsdale
Enjoyable for golfers of all skill levels, Southport & Ainsdale demands a tactical approach off the tee. Accuracy trumps power as avoiding the gorse that lines each fairway is imperative. S & A played host to the Ryder Cup twice in the 1930s and hole No. 5, ‘Hen Pen,’ surely bamboozled the best golfers of that era. It’s a long par-4. Deep bunkers protect the fairway and a well-positioned drive leaves a semi-blind approach to a green where steep-faced bunkers lurk in wait of errant shots.
