Gallery The Clubhouse


THE CLUBHOUSE AT HOYLAKE underwent a hugely successful


programme of


refurbishment at a cost of almost two million pounds before the return of The Open in 2006. Additions and alterations have


ensured the building meets the


demands of the twenty-first century and is appropriate to a championship venue. There is an inviting reception area and


an excellent Professional’s Shop. It has always been the Club’s aim to ensure


that visitors receive a warm, helpful and efficient welcome upon their arrival, and these two areas, the ground floor of a substantial extension, amply fulfil


that


brief. On the second storey is the Club’s Library and Meeting Room and balcony, along with the Club Room, Dining Room and Card Room, all accessible by lift if required. The Spike Bar has just been given


a comprehensive makeover and is the perfect place to gear up to, or wind down from, a round on the famous Hoylake links.


Images by Jane Hockey The clubhouse is also home to arguably


the finest collection of golf memorabilia to be seen outside St Andrews, and visitors might well take pleasure in taking a look before they depart. In the period between the founding


of the Club in 1869 and the building of the current


clubhouse in 1895, Royal


Liverpool used rooms within the Royal Hotel which was located on Stanley Road adjacent to the current 18th tee. The hotel has since been demolished and replaced with housing, but inspired the name of the 17th hole, ‘Royal’.
