About Royal Birkdale Golf Club

Royal Birkdale Golf Club is a prestigious members’ club located on Waterloo Road in Southport, PR8 2LX. Known for its 18-hole Championship Links course, it has hosted The Open Championship ten times and remains a central venue for major golf events, including plans for 2026. Spectator viewing is organized around on-course viewing areas and temporary grandstands, notably near the 18th hole, rather than a single fixed seating chart. When you’re planning a visit, you’ll find flexible viewing options and practical access details that suit a wide range of spectators.

We’ve got you covered with practical information on parking, transportation, and nearby hotels and dining. Whether you’re attending a major championship or a club event, you can secure your seats and plan ahead with our trusted, straightforward help.

Royal Birkdale’s Open Championship history draws visitors from across the UK and abroad. With no on-site public parking, the event relies on the Open Park & Ride system and extensive public transport access, including rail and bus connections, plus bicycle parking. Nearby hotels and dining choices offer convenient stays and meals for visitors, and we highlight affiliate partner recommendations to make booking easier.
