Formby stands out as the most picturesque among the distinguished selection of eight links courses situated between the charming coastal town of St Annes and the bustling city of Liverpool. Its scenic beauty is enhanced by the encompassing pine trees, imparting a softer, heathland ambiance to the links. Spanning across 470 acres within a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), Formby Golf Club remains one of the rare locales in England where spotting the native Red Squirrel is possible.
Established in 1884, Formby Golf Club initially featured a nine-hole course for its members. The course was expanded to 18 holes in 1912 by Willie Park Junior, with subsequent alterations by James Braid in 1922 and Harry Colt in 1933. In response to coastal erosion concerns in the 1980s, Donald Steel undertook revisions and lengthened the course to over 7,000 yards from the tips, ensuring its contemporary appeal.
My son and I took a wonderful Golf and Whiskey Tour in Scotland through ProScot Golf Tours Ltd. The proprietors, John and Nicola, did an amazing job planning and executing our tour. They recommended great golf courses consistent with our playing ability and arranged several personalized scotch distillery tours that let us sample some of the best scotches in scotland! We can't thank them enough for making the trip so amazing!
Read moreHighly recommend ProScot Golf Tours to be your go to when booking a trip to Scotland. John and Nicola had everything set for us and John took great care touring us around for our 5 day bucket list golf trip as we travelled from Canada. John made us feel at home and we had lots of laughs along the way. We were able to play Royal Troon, Prestwick, St Andrew’s Old Course and Carnoustie. ProScot had our hotel and dinner reservations in advance, food was great, everything was on schedule. Sprinter van was new and clean for our travels. Excellent trip for us start to finish!! Thanks again John and Nicola! We will be back…

ProScot (John & Nicola) were amazing! Super communicative, responsive, accommodating, and overall wonderful people who made our bucket list Scotland golf trip a smashing success full of memories without any of the hassle. We priced out a few group operators and not only was ProScot the best price, but they had amazing access to courses, restaurants, and felt like they knew everyone who worked at every course. Pickup/Dropoff from golf everyday was on-time, seamless, full of banter and the vans were perfect, couldn't ask for more. 100% would book with them again and have already referred over a couple people.
