Wallasey was founded in 1891 by members from nearby Hoylake, perhaps because their links was becoming crowded or maybe because Wallasey was more convenient for the many Liverpool businessmen wanting to slip away to play golf. Tom Morris senior of St Andrews, four times Open champion, laid out the links. An 1893 newspaper comment that “…the greens were in excellent condition…” has been repeated continuously ever since. Improvements to the links have continued to the present day, with three new holes designed by Donald Steel being introduced for play in 2004. In 1995 and 2000 Wallasey staged the Amateur Championship preliminary rounds. In 2006 the club hosted Final Qualifying for the Open Championship.
A History of Great Play
Opened in 1891, the links has hosted a long list of distinguished events, including the world’s first Stableford competition in 1932. It has served as a qualifying venue for multiple Open and Amateur Championships and has staged notable tournaments such as the World Senior Professional Championship, the Carris Trophy, and the English Women’s Open Amateur Stroke Play Championship.
