Plan a trip to EnglandRoyal Lytham & St Annes
Open-rota links of bunkers — over 200 of them — sandwiched between a railway and a suburban road in Lancashire.
Royal St George's
Sandwich's wind-defended dunes — the Open rota's southernmost link, and the most divisive course on the list.
Royal Liverpool (Hoylake)
Hoylake — the second-oldest seaside course in England, with internal out-of-bounds defining its closing stretch.
Sunningdale (Old Course)
Heathland archetype — Willie Park Jr.'s 1901 layout, the most-imitated inland course in golf.
St Enodoc (Church Course)
Cornish links of huge dunes and a buried medieval church on the 10th — the great south-west sleeper.
Royal North Devon (Westward Ho!)
Oldest seaside links in England — sheep still graze the fairways, locals still queue at dawn.
