HistoryEdit
Lytham & St Annes Golf Club was founded in 1886 and the present course constructed in 1897. The club was bestowed with its "Royal" title by George V shortly before it hosted its first Open Championship in 1926.<ref>Template:Cite book</ref> The clubhouse celebrated its centenary in 1998. It is one of the premier links courses in the world, host to eleven Open Championships, two Ryder Cups and numerous other major tournaments including the Women's and Seniors Open Championships.
There are 167 bunkers on the course lining the fairways and surrounding the greens. It is a challenging course which demands shot accuracy from its players.
