Royal Lytham & St. Annes

Royal Lytham & St Annes, host of the Open Championship for eleven years, was the fourth English course to hold the event, following Royal St George's, Royal Liverpool, and Royal Cinque Ports.The northernmost of the English championship links courses, Royal Lytham & St Annes is located just ten miles away, as the seagull flies, from its famed neighbour, Royal Birkdale.

Royal St. Georges

After St Andrews, Prestwick, and Muirfield, Royal St George's is the fourth most popular Open location, having hosted 15 Opens. It was the first English course to hold the Open Championship. In 1894, Sandwich held its first of fifteen Open Championships, just seven years after the game began. The inaugural Open to be held outside of Scotland was this one.

Royal Liverpool

The Royal Liverpool Golf Club, located in Hoylake, England, is one of the most prestigious and historic golf courses in the world. Founded in 1869, it is set along the northwest coast of England, offering a classic links-style layout characterized by natural sand dunes, rugged coastal winds, and firm, fast fairways.

Royal Birkdale 

The final English course to be included to the Open rotation was Royal Birkdale, home of the Open Championship for ten years. Before the club received a royal charter from King George VI in 1951, it was only known as Birkdale. All of the major competitions, including the Ryder Cup, Walker Cup, Curtis Cup, and Ladies British Open Championship, have been held at Royal Birkdale Golf Club.

Royal Cinque Ports

After Royal St George's and Royal Liverpool, Royal Cinque Ports was the third English course to hold the Open Championship; the only courses with fewer Opens hosted are Royal Portrush and Prince's. In February 1892, Royal Cinque Ports, or Deal as it is more widely known, was established. Deal is a links course that is pure raw force.

Princes 

The land for Prince's was given by the Earl of Guildford to Sir Harry Mallaby-Deeley, who recruited Charles Hutchings, the 1902 Amateur Champion, and his friend Percy Montagu Lucas, the honorary secretary at Cromer Golf Club, to lay out the 18-hole course in 1904.
