Formby Golf course
About
A group of 24 local businessmen founded Formby Golf Club in 1884. As was usual in those early days in England, golf was played over a 9 hole course during the winter months between October and mid-April. The first course was designed on the land which was part of the Warren, it lay between the recently extended railway to Southport (1851) and the sand dunes and followed the pattern of golf course design created at St Andrews and Westward Ho! and the earliest local course of West Lancashire (1873).
