Golfing holidays and golf breaks in England.
North Shore Golf Club
Devonshire Rd, Blackpool, Lancashire, FY2 0RD
The superb Georgian building at North Shore Golf Club has recently been refurbished inside and out. The course - which was modelled by James Braid is overlooked by the hotel.
Braid's challenge was to transform a unique blend of exposed coastline and lush tree lined parkland into a course that would challenge every hickory shaped club. Like all good seaside course designers Braid made use of the strong easterly wind which can cause even the best players a headache. The wind hits your drive on 5, 10, and 15 from the right and on the 13 and 17 head on. With a strong wind behind you on 11 and 14 it makes club selection a nightmare, these holes made Braid both a genius and a demon.
Braid has given many a golfer a lot to shout and laugh about when reaching the club bar and the North Shore Hotel prides itself on good food, good ale and good hospitality.
