Hoylake Golf Club
Wirral, Merseyside, United Kingdom
In 1933 a group of gentlemen with a common interest in golf decided to form a new Golf Club. They decided upon the name Hoylake, and this proved to be the founding of this great club. It was not the first Club to play at the Hoylake Municipal Golf links however, this distinction goes to Grosvenor Grange Ladies Golf Club, which was formed by a group of ladies from The Royal Liverpool Golf Club in 1898. They desired to play golf unhindered by the social constraints of the times. The Royal Liverpool Golf Club purchased some land and constructed a 9 hole course for the ladies. Some 30 years later the Parish council, wanting to increase public amenities bought the course and converted it into an 18 hole one with the aid of Mr James Braid. He was one third of the legendary 'Triumvirate' of the turn of the century golfers which also included JH Taylor & Harry Vardon. The course today is largely as he designed it, the only significant difference being the order in which we play the holes.
