Planning some fitting hotels for the approaching Women's British Golf Open in Southport

The Ricoh Women’s Open is held at Royal Birkdale this summer, following in the footsteps of the British Open a couple of years ago. For those who visited last year’s Women’s Open just along the road in Royal Lytham, you might by now be familiar with the region. But for those who don’t, and those that perhaps do but aren’t sure where to stay, here is a assortment of accommodation to hand.

All of these hotels are bookable online using our recommended links. Best of all, by using that site you don’t have to pay yet. A credit card number guarantees your request and with several of the hotels you only pay on departure. Excellent if you decide not to bother.

First, there is the Premier Inn down at Ocean Plaza. Around its car park there are numerous restaurants, catering for Oriental, Italian, American and other tastes. There is also a cinema for the evenings and a large sports shop and gym. It is certainly worth a look at this hotel if you are heading towards the area. A short taxi ride will get you to Royal Birkdale or it isn’t too far-flung from the local bus routes. If you are as brainless as me, I’d walk it. But not advised unless you are extremely fit!

There is also an alternative Premier Inn on the road into Ormskirk, but it is further from the course and I wouldn’t advise this one for anyone depending on public transport. Driving to Royal Birkdale would be a necessity from here!

Another choice for accommodation for the Ricoh Women’s Open when it comes to Birkdale is the Formby Hall Golf Resort. Again out of the way a bit, but just a short drive down the Coastal Road to the course. Plus, for real golf fans, the chance of a round or two themselves at the Formby Hall course.

Getting back into Southport centre, a different top option for accommodation must be the brand new Ramada Plaza Southport. Easily walkable to the same eating venues as the first Premier Inn and also very near to the main shopping area of Southport. This hotel is right next door to the newly refurbished Southport Theatre and Convention Centre and should have brilliant views over the Marine Lake and potentially even to Blackpool, if you face the sea.

If you are searching for a really upmarket hotel then look at Southport’s Vincent Hotel. Right in the centre of the town, this hotel occupies the spot of one of the town’s old cinemas, the last of the small cinemas to close in the town. This trendy 4* hotel has a gym and lots to offer visitors to the area intent on coming to the Golf. Getting to Royal Birkdale to sample the Womens Open should be a undemanding taxi ride, in effect just down the one road (impossible to get lost if driving yourself???). This hotel should be something of an experience if you are in the area!
