As a resident, for me venturing down to Royal Birkdale to spectate the Women’s British Open will be no big hassle. If I’m taking the family we’ll drive, if I’m on my own I’ll walk. But if you are visiting to the Southport area to experience the benefits of the Ricoh Women’s British Open in July and August, where are you going to reside? Based on my native knowledge, here are one or two places laudable of consideration.

If you are interested in any of these hotels they are all bookable online through a reputable website. It is a site I have used before and with the bulk of hotels you do not pay until arrival and almost all will permit you to call off your reservation right up to the day of arrival. So if the summer weather conditions turns bad and you alter your travel plans, you are not losing out on hotel rates.

The Royal Clifton, a associate of the Best Western chain of hotels, is a sizeable hotel overlooking the Kings Gardens. This big hotel is not too far from the action down at Royal Birkdale, being sited at the Birkdale end of the centre. It is out of the way of the key shops, but not too far to walk into the centre for masses of shopping! Over the road are the popular Kings Gardens, allowing for an evening walk round the gardens and the Marine Lake. There is plenty of parking on site and more pay and display outside. An outstanding base if you are wishing to drive the brief distance to Royal Birkdale.

Another good quality choice of hotel at that end of Southport is the Prince of Wales hotel. This hotel with Victorian features is located on Lord Street, where a lot of the shops are. It is at the quieter end, but without difficulty walkable to all of the most important shops.

Once more this hotel has loads of on and off street parking and if you want to drive to Royal Birkdale, or if you are as eager to walk as I am and you want to walk it, just turn left onto Lord Street out of the hotel gates, carry on following the road as it becomes Waterloo Road through Birkdale and about 2 miles from your hotel is the golf club. Uncomplicated by car or by taxi.

One more remarkable and long standing hotel is the Scarisbrick Hotel. Right in the middle of the shops along with its own bar, restaurant and night club, it can be a busy place. The hotel details do mention parking, but I would not know where this is. Maybe around the back of the hotel. But if you are traveling by public transport and might like a lively hotel, here is the one for you!

Even though we don’t know yet where the approved public parking will be, there is an area by the golf course that is used for parking for Southport’s legendary flower show, and I think that this might be called into action for this occasion. I do not think they are anticipating the visitor levels experienced when the men take their turn to play in Birkdale. But assuming car parking is on hand, driving from any of the Southport hotels will only take minutes.
