Planning some suitable lodging for the forthcoming Women's British Golf Open in Southport

The Ricoh Women’s Open is held at Royal Birkdale this year, following in the footsteps of the British Open a few of years ago. For those who attended last year’s Women’s Open just down the road in Royal Lytham, you may by now be familiar with the region. But for those who don’t, and those that possibly do but aren’t definite where to stay, here is a choice of hotels in close proximity.

All of these hotels are bookable online using our recommended links. Best of all, by using that site you don’t have to shell out yet. A credit card number reserves your request and with lots of the hotels you only pay on departure. Brilliant if you decide not to bother.

First, there is the Premier Inn down at Ocean Plaza. In the region of its car park there are a few restaurants, catering for Oriental, Italian, American and more tastes. There is also a cinema for the evenings and a big sports shop and gym. It is definitely 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 exceptionally fit!

There is also a further Premier Inn on the road into Ormskirk, but it is further from the course and I wouldn’t recommend this one for anyone depending on public transport. Driving to Royal Birkdale would be a necessity from here!

An extra option for accommodation for the Ricoh Women’s Open when it comes to Birkdale is the Formby Hall Golf Resort. Once more out of the way a bit, but just a short drive down the Coastal Road to the course. Plus, for true golf fans, the prospect of a round or two themselves at the Formby Hall course.

Getting back into Southport centre, a further top alternative for hotels must be the brand new Ramada Plaza Southport. Without doubt walkable to the same eating venues as the opening Premier Inn and also very nearby to the central shopping region of Southport. This hotel is right next door to the newly refurbished Southport Theatre and Convention Centre and should have brilliant views over the Marine Lake and possibly even towards Blackpool, if you face the sea.

If you are searching for a genuinely upmarket 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 stylish 4* hotel has a gym and a load to offer visitors to the area intent on coming to the Golf. Getting to Royal Birkdale to sample the Womens Open should be a trouble-free taxi ride, in fact 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!
