The Ricoh Women’s Open is held at Royal Birkdale this year, following in the footsteps of the British Open a couple of years ago. For those who visited last year’s Women’s Open just along the road in Royal Lytham, you might by now be acquainted with the region. But for those who don’t, and those that possibly do but aren’t definite where to stay, here is a assortment of accommodation to hand.
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 pay yet. A credit card number secures your request 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 numerous restaurants, catering for Oriental, Italian, American and further cuisines. There is also a cinema for the evenings and a large sports shop and gym. It is well worth a look at this hotel if you are visiting the area. A short taxi ride will get you to Royal Birkdale or it isn’t too remote from the local bus routes. If you are as foolish as me, I’d walk it. But not suggested unless you are especially fit!
There is also an alternative Premier Inn on the road into Ormskirk, but it is further from the course and I wouldn’t advise this one for anyone using public transport. Driving to Royal Birkdale would be a must from here!
Another option 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 little, but just a short drive down the Coastal Road to the course. Plus, for true golf fans, the possibility of a round or two themselves at the Formby Hall course.
Getting back into Southport centre, a further top option for hotels must be the brand new Ramada Plaza Southport. With no trouble walkable to the same eating venues as the initial Premier Inn and also very handy to the main shopping area 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 potentially even towards Blackpool, if you face the sea.
If you are hunting for a genuinely 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 elegant 4* hotel has a gym and a load to offer visitors to the area fixed on visiting the Golf. Getting to Royal Birkdale to enjoy the Womens Open should be a effortless taxi ride, to all intents and purposes just down the one road (impracticable to get lost if driving yourself???). This hotel might be something of an experience if you are in the area!
