Finding Some Suitable Hotels For The Approaching Women’s British Golf Open In Southport

Posted on Feb 03 in Golf Travelby NickyPrint

The Ricoh Women’s Open is visiting Royal Birkdale this year, following in the footsteps of the British Open a few of years ago. For those who visited last year’s Women’s Open just down the road in Royal Lytham, you might already be familiar with the location. But for those who don’t, and those that maybe do but aren’t definite where to stay, here is a selection of hotels nearby.

All of these hotels are bookable over the internet using our suggested links. Best of all, by using that site you don’t have to shell out yet. A credit card number guarantees your booking and with lots of the hotels you only pay on arrival. Tremendous if you decide not to bother.

To begin with, there is the Premier Inn down at Ocean Plaza. Round its car park there are several restaurants, catering for Oriental, Italian, American and more tastes. There is also a cinema for the evenings and a big sports shop and gym. It is certainly worth a look at this hotel if you are coming to the area. A short taxi ride will get you to Royal Birkdale or it isn’t too outlying from the local bus routes. If you are as foolish as me, I’d walk it. But not advised unless you are especially fit!

There is also a further Premier Inn on the road into Ormskirk, but it is further from the course and I wouldn’t recommend this one for anyone depending on public transport. Driving to Royal Birkdale would be a must from here!

An extra choice for accommodation for the Ricoh Women’s Open when it returns to Birkdale is the Formby Hall Golf Resort. Once more out of the way a bit, but just a short drive down the Coastal Road to the course. Plus, for genuine golf fans, the opportunity of a round or two themselves at the Formby Hall course.

Getting back into Southport centre, a further top selection for hotels must be the brand new Ramada Plaza Southport. With no trouble walkable to the same eating venues as the first Premier Inn and also very close by to the main shopping district of Southport. This hotel is right next door to the newly refurbished Southport Theatre and Convention Centre and should have exceptional views over the Marine Lake and possibly even towards Blackpool, if you face the sea.

If you are hunting for a truly stylish hotel then look at Southport’s Vincent Hotel. Right in the centre of the town, this hotel occupies the spot of one of the town’s old cinemas, the last of the small cinemas to close in the town. This fashionable 4* hotel has a gym and a load to offer visitors to the area fixed on coming to the Golf. Getting to Royal Birkdale to enjoy the Womens Open would be a simple taxi ride, in effect just down the one road (out of the question to get lost if driving yourself???). This hotel might be something of an experience if you are in the area!
