Blackpool North Shore Golf Club

Blackpool North Shore Golf Club was established in 1904 and its course was designed by Harry Colt, one of the most significant architects working in Britain during the early 20th century. The club has previously served as an Open Championship qualifying venue, a status attributed in part to its fast, undulating greens, which have long been a defining feature of the layout. Set on the Fylde coast in Blackpool, the course reflects the links-style ground typical of this stretch of Lancashire coastline, with open, often windswept fairways shaped by the maritime conditions of the area. Colt's design work across Britain is widely regarded, and North Shore represents an early example of his approach applied to a seaside setting close to Blackpool town. The club's history as a qualifying venue for the Open Championship places it among a number of courses along the Fylde coast that have played a role in professional golf, even though larger neighbouring clubs have since taken on a higher profile in the rotation. Visitor booking is available online, and the club continues to present its Colt-designed greens as a central part of what distinguishes a round here from other courses in the Blackpool area.
