Royal Birkdale Golf Club is a Members’ Club with an 18 hole Championship Links, regarded as one of the finest in the world.
The Royal Birkdale clubhouse is one of the world’s most iconic. History and modernity combine to provide excellent facilities to sit back and relax after a day of golf. It was built in 1935 in the art deco style by local architect, George E. Tonge who won a competition to design the clubhouse.
Tonge said, “I visualized the kind of clubhouse that I thought ought to intrude itself onto this lovely course. I imagined the lines of a liner at sea; the perfect balance of the ship at whatever angle and from whatever side it was seen.”
In 2019 the clubhouse was refurbished back to the original art deco style. The carpet design is that of the original golf course, see link to video.
The F&B facilities at Royal Birkdale are of the highest quality. Head Chef Steven Lamb and his team of highly skilled chefs use modern cooking techniques and the best locally sourced ingredients to ensure that everything, from a casual breakfast to a full fine dining service is of the highest quality. To complement the food the club also has a full range of beverages to suit all occasions, all served by our professional, friendly and attentive clubhouse team. The club has an extensive fine wine menu to make any event that little bit more special.
Catering is available from 9.00am until 7.00pm (6.00pm on Sundays) between 1st April and 31st October and from 9.00am until 5.00pm between 1st November and 31st March.
