We’ve been drawn to the links of Wallasey Golf Club for quite some time. Situated on the rugged edge of the Wirral peninsula, it is a club steeped in the very fabric of golfing lore. Not only is it the proud birthplace of the Stableford scoring system – pioneered by Dr. Frank Stableford in 1932 – but it also holds a timeless connection to Bobby Jones, who famously graced these fairways to qualify for the Open Championship during his legendary 1930 Grand Slam year.

Yet, what makes Wallasey so compelling today isn't just its illustrious history. In recent years, the club has undergone a monumental transformation. Through massive investment and an incredible amount of dedicated course work spearhead by Course Manager John McLoughlin, Wallasey has been elevated to entirely new heights. The sheer scale of the improvements – restoring the character of the dunes and refining the seaside turf has rightly triggered a dramatic and well-deserved leap up both the England and UK&I rankings.

Every time we walk off the 18th green at Wallasey, we're reminded of what happens when a historic club refuses to simply rest on its laurels. It provides a pure, exhilarating links test that honors its past while firmly embracing its future. Wallasey stands today as a shining example of course evolution. An Old Tom layout that has proven that, with the right vision, a historic links can still get better with age.
