Location: Lytham St. Annes, Lancashire, England
Year founded: 1886 Courses: Royal Lytham & St Annes, 6882 tards Architect: George Lowe (1897), Harry Colt (1919) Signature HolesHole #18 - 410 yards par 4 It is the classic finishing hole: the landing area flanked by bunkers with the added menace of cross bunkers in the fairway. The brave drive is rewarded with a gentler approach that still needs to be treated with respect, because Royal Lytham remains a test of skill until the final putt drops. Bunkers Bunkers are score killers, 206 of them placed to gobble up just about any shot that doesn't go where you planned it, shots that were poorly planned and especially shots that were not planned at all. Many of the fairway bunkers are so deep that your only goal is to hit your ball out, with no hope of advancing toward the green. ScorecardCourse played: Royal Lytham & St Annes
