George Lowe's Lancashire links, redesigned by Fred Hawtree and J.H. Taylor, hosted the 1965 and 1969 Ryder Cups — the latter ending in the famous 'Concession' between Nicklaus and Jacklin. Also host to ten Open Championships (most recently 2017), with dune-framed fairways and Southport's coastal wind defining the test.
