What Hospitality, Events, and Media Information Does Royal Liverpool Golf Club Hoylake Offer?

Updated

Royal Liverpool Golf Club Hoylake's website (royal-liverpool-golf.com) covers three areas beyond tee booking: Hospitality for clubhouse and event arrangements, a set of tournaments and competitions including the Open Scratch Mixed Foursomes and the Harold Hilton Tournament, and Media content that includes a Digital Magazine. The site also carries substantial Heritage material — Course History, Hall of Fame, and "Hoylake Over the Years" — for anyone interested in the club's background rather than a round of golf.

Hospitality

The main navigation includes a dedicated Hospitality section, and the club's own framing of itself is "HISTORY. HERITAGE. HOSPITALITY." The site also lists The Clubhouse and Local Area as separate menu items, which sit alongside Hospitality as the non-golf side of a visit.

What the site does not state in the material available here is what hospitality packages contain, minimum numbers, or prices. If you are planning a function, treat the Hospitality page as the starting point and confirm details directly with the club rather than assuming a format.

Events and Competitions

The site lists these competitions under its events navigation:

  • Open Scratch Mixed Foursomes — shown with a 2026 date and an "Apply Now" call to action, so entry appears to be by application rather than open booking.
  • Harold Hilton Tournament — listed as a named club competition.
  • Open — listed as a separate event entry in the same menu group.

The 2026 Open Scratch Mixed Foursomes is the only event on this list with a stated year and an application route. For the others, the site gives the name but not dates, entry criteria, or fees in the material available, so those need to be checked with the club.

Media and Digital Magazine

Two media-facing sections are listed:

  • Media — the club's media information section.
  • Digital Magazine — described on the site as something to "EXPLORE," suggesting a browsable online publication rather than a downloadable file.

The site does not specify how often the Digital Magazine is published or whether back issues are archived. If you want it for research or coverage, check the section directly for what is currently available.

Heritage and History Content

This is the largest non-golf content area on the site, and it is where the club's competitive identity is explained. The club describes Hoylake as "one of the oldest of all the English seaside clubs" and notes that it "lies at the very heart of the history and development of the game in Great Britain."

Heritage-related sections include:

  • Heritage
  • Hoylake Over the Years
  • Course History
  • Hall of Fame

A concrete detail worth knowing: Royal Liverpool has hosted 13 Opens, and those 13 championships produced 13 different Champions. The site names Harold Hilton, Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, Roberto De Vicenzo, Tiger Woods, and Rory McIlroy among those who have lifted the Claret Jug there, and notes that Brian Harman joined that list with the 151st Open.

What the Course Itself Claims

The club's own description is useful context for anyone weighing a visit: the links "can be beautiful, uplifting, challenging, and even daunting when the wind blows and the summer rough is deep." It was "created to be a demanding test of golf and remains so today."

The site is explicit that the challenge is not obvious from looking at it — despite a "flat and benign appearance," Hoylake "makes the trickiest demands of a player's shot selection, distance control and accuracy." The club's stated pattern is that when Opens are held there, "only the ultimate masters of these elements emerge victorious."

Practical Notes

  • Tee times and green fees are handled through separate Visitor Tee Booking & Green Fees and Before You Visit sections, plus a Members Tee Booking area — these are distinct from the hospitality and events content above.
  • Cookies: the site uses cookies to improve browsing, with a cookie policy linked in the footer. Browsing continues as normal if you accept.
  • The footer also links Cookies Policy, Accessibility, and Media, and credits web design to CoCreate.

If your interest is hospitality or entering a competition, the phone number above is the most direct route — the site names the offerings but does not publish terms, prices, or entry requirements for them.
