CLUB INFORMATION
Penwortham -
DAY 1 -
PENWORTHAM GC |
 |
|
Nestling on the banks of the River Ribble, the naturally
undulating and wooded slopes of this glorious parkland estate have been continuously enhanced and developed since 1908. The most recent improvements were based on recommendations made by John Nicholson Associates, a partnership including Ken Brown, the former Ryder Cup star turned television commentator and our course architect, Ken Moodie.
The Club has subsequently installed eighteen sand based greens to the very finest USGA standards. With nearly 6,000 yards of tree lined fairways including five par three holes and two excellent par fives, the course provides a challenging and enjoyable test of golf for players of all abilities. A feature of the clubhouse is the large south-west facing veranda which overlooks the 1st tee and the 18th green - where you can share the nerves as your colleagues put out.
Penwortham is a PGA Qualifying venue, has recently hosted the Lancashire Seniors Open, and co-hosted the 2012 UK Corporate Games.

FAIRHAVEN GC |

Fairhaven is not only a beautiful place to play golf, but fully lives up to its designation as a ‘Championship’ course originally designed by James Braid. Professional golf at Fairhaven started back in 1934, when the course played host to the ‘Penfold’ Tournament.
The Club has hosted many ‘Open Championship’ Final Qualifying Competitions, when the ‘Open Championship’ is played at neighbouring Royal Lytham and St Annes Golf Club. The Professionals’ course record of 64 was achieved by Justin Leonard in 1996, while he was playing in and leading the final qualifying rounds.
Listed in both Golf Worlds, ‘The Best 10 ‘Open Championship’ Qualifying Courses’, and ‘Great Britain & Irelands Best 10 Opening Holes’, and described by Peter Allis as “a real hidden gem”.
In 2022 FGC hosted British Amateur Championships alongside
