The Blackpool North Shore Golf Club is one of the UK’s most historic links that provides a challenging 18 holes with rolling terrain and unexpected sand traps. When you step onto the course, you’ll be hitting drives on the same fairways as did golf greats Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.
The sprawling fairways and finely manicured greens look relatively tame from an elevated perspective, but when you step onto the course and see the gorgeous English countryside, you know you are in for an iconic game. Before and after, you can grab a drink and a bite to eat in the historic 3-storey clubhouse.
