Members play the course at 6505 yards but the championship length has recently been increased to 7028 yards.
Accuracy is always required since the indigenous heather protects much of the rough and great caution is required whether this be off the tee, in approach shots, or on the green.
Formby Golf Club is unique in Britain not because membership is only available to men but because Formby Ladies Golf Club, founded in 1896, is located on the same links.
The Ladies Club is completely independent with its own Clubhouse, Course and greenkeeping staff.
The superb championship Ladies course is enclosed within the men's course and is also available to visitors by separate arrangement every day (except competitions) including weekends.
