The club is one of England's most prestigious and the layout can be extremely tough when the winds blow off the Irish Sea. Ranked #62 in the world by Golf Magazine.

The 11 Opens produced eleven different champions including John H. Taylor, Walter Hagen, Bobby Jones and Tiger Woods. Jones' 1930 victory was the second leg of his historic grand slam.
