We take a closer look at Royal Lytham & St Annes in our top 100 list of links golf courses in GB&I

11. Royal Lytham & St Annes
Lancashire, England

Factfile:

What our panellists said:

CC: The best links in England.

RM: It may not be the most scenic course but it is still seriously good.

CH: Strong course although lacks views.

MM: Stunning golf holes, disappointing environs.

SA: The course relies on bunkering too much to be top class.

KE: Wonderfully strategic from the tee. Multiple bunkers are in play, in just the right way, for players of all abilities.

AL: Too reliant on bunkers – the terrain is not special.

Commentary: Lytham will never seduce the first-time visitor like a Turnberry or Kingsbarns but it is bunkered like nowhere else in this list.
