An additional alternative of accommodation for the Ricoh Women’s British Golf

By: Keith R Lunt

As a resident, for me venturing down to Royal Birkdale to spectate the Women’s British Open will be no big disturbance. If I’m taking the family we’ll drive, if I’m on my own I’ll walk. But if you are heading towards to the Southport vicinity to experience the joys of the Ricoh Women’s British Open in July and August, where are you going to reside? Based on my regional wisdom, here are a few destinations laudable of deliberation.

If you are interested in any of these hotels they are all bookable over the internet through a reliable website. It is a site I have used previously and with the best part of hotels you do not pay until arrival and nearly all will allow you to call off your reservation right up to the day of arrival. So if the summer conditions turns bad and you alter your travel plans, you are not losing out on hotel costs.

The Royal Clifton, a associate of the Best Western chain of hotels, is a big hotel overlooking the Kings Gardens. This large hotel is not too far from the action down at Royal Birkdale, being situated at the Birkdale end of the centre. It is out of the way of the main shops, but not too far to walk into the centre for a load of shopping! Over the road are the accepted Kings Gardens, allowing for an evening walk around the gardens and the Marine Lake. There is a load of parking on site and more pay and display outside. An superb base if you are wanting to drive the brief distance to Royal Birkdale.

One more high-quality option of hotel at that end of Southport is the Prince of Wales hotel. This hotel with Victorian features is located on Lord Street, where a lot of the shops are. It is at the quieter end, but easily walkable to all of the major shops.

Once more this hotel has plenty of on and off street parking and if you want to drive to Royal Birkdale, or if you are as devoted to walk as I am and you want to walk it, just turn left onto Lord Street out of the hotel gates, go on following the road as it becomes Waterloo Road through Birkdale and about 2 miles from your hotel is the golf club. Painless by car or by taxi.

A different exciting and long standing hotel is the Scarisbrick Hotel. Right in the core of the shops along with its own bar, restaurant and night club, it can be a busy place. The hotel information do talk about parking, but I would not know where this is. Perhaps around the back of the hotel. But if you are traveling by public transport and would like a lively hotel, here is the one for you!

Even though we don’t know yet where the endorsed public parking will be, there is an area by the golf course that is used for parking for Southport’s celebrated flower show, and I guess that this might be called into action for this event. I do not think they are expecting the visitor levels experienced when the men take their turn to play in Birkdale. But assuming car parking is on hand, driving from any of the Southport hotels will only take minutes.
