Royal St George's Golf Club:

This memorable links has been a regular member of the Open Championship rotation. Harry Vardon, Walter Hagen, Greg Norman and Darren Clarke are great golfers to hoist the Claret Jug trophy here. The par-3 No. 16 at Royal St. George’s has delivered pleasure and pain over the years. Tony Jacklin made the first televised hole-in-one there in 1967. Thomas Bjorn watched his hopes for The Open fade when he needed three shots to escape a greenside bunker there in 2003.
Royal St George’s Golf Club, Kent, England:

Royal Birkdale Golf Club:

A course that provides a formidable test of links golf and fully deserves its recognition as a true venue for the Open Championship since joining the rota in 1954. Each hole runs in valleys between towering sandhills. The problems are clearly stated, if you stray from the fairway the buckthorn and scrub can be demanding. Arnold Palmer’s Open Championship victory here in 1961 was a significant step toward attracting top American pros to the Open. Tom Watson won the Claret Jug here in 1983.

Royal Lytham & St Annes Golf Club:

Arguably the toughest of England's championship links courses. Unusual for a British links it does not sit beside the sea. Its main defense is the vast numbers of deep bunkers guarding both the fairways as well as the greens that present a virtual one-shot penalty. It enjoys a very special atmosphere. It was here in 1926 that Bobby Jones won The Open and his legendary shot to the 17th green is commemorated by a plaque.

Royal Liverpool Golf Club:

Returned to The Open rota in 2006 after a lengthy hiatus. Despite its somewhat flat and benign appearance, Royal Liverpool is among the toughest and most demanding of the great seaside championship links of Britain. Hoylake, as it is more commonly known, lies at the very heart of the history and development of golf in Britain. Built in 1869, on what was then the racecourse of the Liverpool Hunt Club, Hoylake is one of the oldest English seaside courses.
