A Further Range Of Hotels For The Ricoh Women’s British Golf

As a native, for me venturing down to Royal Birkdale to watch the Women’s British Open will be no big hassle. If I’m taking the family we’ll drive, if I’m on my own I’ll walk. But if you are heading towards to the Southport vicinity to experience the joys of the Ricoh Women’s British Open in July and August, where are you going to lodge? Based on my local wisdom, here are a handful places worthy of consideration.

If you are interested in any of these hotels they are all bookable over the internet through a trustworthy website. It is a site I have used before and with the majority of hotels you do not pay until arrival and nearly all will let you to cancel your reservation right up to the day of arrival. So if the summer conditions turns bad and you change your travel plans, you are not losing out on hotel costs.

The Royal Clifton, a associate of the Best Western chain of hotels, is a big hotel overlooking the Kings Gardens. This sizeable hotel is not too far from the action down at Royal Birkdale, being located at the Birkdale end of the centre. It is out of the way of the key shops, but not too far to walk into the centre for heaps of shopping! Over the road are the popular Kings Gardens, allowing for an evening walk around the gardens and the Marine Lake. There is a load of parking on site and more pay and display outside. An first-rate base if you are wanting to drive the brief distance to Royal Birkdale.

An added excellent selection of hotel at that end of Southport is the Prince of Wales hotel. This hotel with Victorian features is located on Lord Street, where a lot of the shops are. It is at the quieter end, but effortlessly walkable to all of the major shops.

Yet again this hotel has loads of on and off street parking and if you want to drive to Royal Birkdale, or if you are as keen to walk as I am and you want to walk it, just turn left onto Lord Street out of the hotel gates, carry on following the road as it turns into Waterloo Road through Birkdale and about 2 miles from your hotel is the golf club. Painless by car or by taxi.

An added notable and long standing hotel is the Scarisbrick Hotel. Right in the heart of the shops along with its own bar, restaurant and night club, it can be a busy place. The hotel particulars do refer to parking, but I would not know where this is. Possibly around the back of the hotel. But if you are traveling by public transport and would like a lively hotel, here is the one for you!

Even though we don’t know yet where the formal public parking will be, there is an area by the golf course that is used for parking for Southport’s celebrated flower show, and I guess that this might be called into action for this occasion. I do not think they are expecting the visitor levels experienced when the men take their turn to play in Birkdale. But assuming car parking is near, driving from any of the Southport hotels will only take minutes.
